Delete - does not appear to have the requisite 3rd-party sourcing to establish notability. Otto4711 06:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep & research The article does assert notability with the Madonna connection, as "discovering" her and producing her first record. Not important but noticed. I see about 9k g-hits for his name and 3k when linked to Madonna. I thnik this should be tagged for cleanup and lacking sources. --Kevin Murray 19:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. He does appear to be notable, both from the article and from a web search. I wasn't able to find good references, but I'm optimistically hoping that they're in existence. YechielMan 19:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - Needs sources, but is notable. Needs clean up, not deletion. --Falcorian ^(talk) 23:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep my problem is that we are dealing with a living person but have no references to back the article up, any serious newspaper would refrain from bringing something without sources and encyclopedias would not touch it with a six foot pole Alf photoman 00:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Er, not to be a dick, but if there are no reliable sources for the article then it fails WP:V. The "keep" !votes are striking me as variations on WP:ILIKEIT. Otto4711 18:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok Otto, looks like you won, I'll see if there are sources by end of this AfD, if not I'll go for delete Alf photoman 20:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Ha ha ha! I am victorious! I mean, it's not a competition, I just want what's best for the project. ;-) Otto4711 21:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep due to references added by Dhartung, sorry Otto Alf photoman 00:30, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
