• delete No entry on allmusic.com That means he has not appeared on any wide-release recording. Also, acording to the articles OWN AUTHOR on the article's talk page, and I quote:

  "I felt that adding such an Artist to Wikipedia added to the collective knowledge from both a technical and stylistic point of view."

That is according to the articles own author. Sounds like Original Research to me. WikiPedia does not exist to make someone more notable. A subject must have verifiable notablity to qualify for an article here. WikiPedia merely documents established fame; it does not act as a means to establish fame itself. Additionally, I did a google search for "John Nagle" Guitar. I turned up a paltry list (1000) articles, and most on the first page were writen BY guys named John Nagle, rather than about. There is paltry verifiable evidence that this guy is notable. He may be a great guitar player. Being good, or even having a unique style, does not make you notable by WikiPedia standards. If his style is so important, people who don't know him personally will note that style and write about it in the music press. Then he will become notable and then he will be worthy of an article. Unless and untill that happens, he doesn't belong. --Jayron32 23:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Ok. Even though its not the same guy, this has GOT to be a near first... Humorous at the least. --Jayron32 05:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
