[edit] Joe Sidney

• Unsourced non-notable spammy biography, vandalized or otherwise. tomasz. 22:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
• Strong delete, spammy and quite obvious in its failure of WP:MUSIC (no major label albums, no chart singles, no reliable sources, etc.) Note that the links for his albums actually point to novels of the same name.

JCGoodman- I am Joe Sidney's cousin, this is a real person, a real artist. He may not have a huge single or a major label, but he is a valid artist, and this is a true entry, not a fan page! This is his bio, whether he likes it or not! Would we find Velvet Underground's bio invalid in 1965 because they hadn't met Andy Warhol yet?? I strongly discourage deletion, and would prefer an edit to wikipedia's liking. It is not fair to exclude our community's greatest living songwriter and performer.—Preceding unsigned comment added by JCGoodman (talk • contribs)

• Delete Not even close to passing WP:MUSIC (based on albums, tours, sales, etc.). Being a real person doesn't make one notable (in fact, it's not even a prerequisite). Bfigura ^(talk) 03:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Could notability be established if the Hurricane Katrina claim is verified? --Sharkface217 02:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Reply - The article is here that covers it. Note that Great Neck musician Joe Sidney presents his Concert for Katrina Relief, Saturday, Sept. 17 at 6 p.m. at Levels in the Great Neck Library. which really says it is very local community coverage of a community event.

• Delete - no reliaqble sources to establish notability. The Katrina thing seems to be rather minor, and although a wonderful thing to be doing, appears to be a minor community fundraiser much like many others that happened about that time. -- Whpq (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
