[edit] Dan Hoerner

Unverifiable vanity or hoax. Which is it? GRider\talk 19:47, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Neither. Actual person, actual book, but person is more notable for being guitarist for Sunny Day Real Estate. Article improved a bit. Gamaliel 20:05, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. non-notable author of a non-notable book, disturbing or not. -R. fiend 20:05, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • No vote at present. It seems this article is short enough that everything here could be included at Sunny Day Real Estate. -R. fiend 14:24, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep even besides the book, Sunny Day Real Estate members would be notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:39, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • PS: I have to ask: how would this be "unverifiable" exactly? I fully understand that many people haven't heard of this person, but it takes a second or two to verify on Google. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:42, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
    • Just to be clear here, have you verified that this is the same Dan Hoerner? I may withdraw my vote if its true and if the article is expanded to establish notability. If all this guy did was write one childrens book which got me a few dozen google hits then I will stay with delete. -R. fiend 21:47, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, possible self-promotion/vanity. Megan1967 22:38, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with Sunny Day Real Estate Kappa 02:45, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with SDRE. Radiant! 09:10, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. If my rotten computer hadn't twice crashed on me tonight, I would have rewritten this article. The Sunny Day Real Estate web page confirms him as the author of the book. He recorded an EP with Dashboard Confessional in 2001 see [2].

He has also recorded a soundtrack. Capitalistroadster 09:56, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Notable.--Centauri 12:31, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
