[edit] O. Richard Bundy

This appears to be the biography for a non-notable university professor. Merovingian 18:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• Leave Posted - Bundy was placed on the list of notable Penn State people, and the article was placed on the Wikipedia because of the presence of his name on the noteable people list. He is the director of the single largest organization at the Pennsylvania State University and a nationally-renound marching band.

Keep I am unclear why this article is up for deletion. As a newer user of Wiki, I am not familiar with your short hand of "per nomination." I was also unable to find it in the articles for deletion. However, I believe I found reasons to keep this page. Dr. Bundy is listed on the list famous Penn Staters which can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pennsylvania_State_University_people

I do not understand how this can be deemed as not notable. I say this article stays posted on the following grounds:

• Widely recognized entertainment personalities and opinion makers

• Recording musicians who have sold more than 5,000 albums, CDs, or similar recordings (see WikiProject Music's Notability and Music Guidelines)

• Notable actors and television personalities who have appeared in well-known films or television productions. Notability can be determined by:

o Multiple features in popular culture publications such as Vogue, GQ, Elle, FHM or national newspapers

o A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following o An independent biography

o Name recognition

o Commercial endorsements

• Dr. Bundy is the leader of the largest organization at Penn State, the Penn State Blue Band. This 300 member strong marching band is known not only to the 40,000 students enrolled at Penn State, but regularly play to over 100,000 different people per week during football season, and it is no secret that he is the director. Through his leadership, the band was featured at Marc Jacobs Fall 2005 Fashion show in New York City. http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2006RTW/review/MJACOBS • www.marcjacobs.com • • HIS band was also featured in an advertisement in the December issue Vogue Magazine along with Kiera Knightley • http://live.psu.edu/story/14756 • http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1133259840146320.xml&coll=1 • This year, the Sudler Trophy, the “Heisman Trophy for marching bands,” was awarded to the Blue Band, again under his direction. • The Blue Band has released numerous albums over Dr. Bundy’s tenure at Penn State. These albums have certainly sold more than 5000 copies, as a few of the older ones are out of print.
