[edit] Mentions by Notable Abbotsford Bands
Why was my section on references to Keillor by Abbotsford musicians (including ones that have met WP:Music notability criteria) erased on June 1, 2006? If a good reason is presented I willingly remove it, but until then I will continue to ensure that it remains on the page. JonnyChance 04:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Links
Are all the links at the bottom of this article necessary? Six links are to different sections of his website (thepunks.com), and aren't the two links to his National Library of Canada information references at best? What would one gain by reading these other than confirming that he wrote the books the article claims he does? I propose the National Library links be moved to references, and all "thepunks" links removed except the main page, and the Freedom Party page. JonnyChance 04:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC) I'm going to be bold and remove these links JonnyChance 03:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mediation Cabal
The dispute over the removal of the following paragraph is now a case at the Mediation Cabal. I am mediating.
+ Keillor has gained notoreity in Abbotsford's music scene, most notably for his inclusion of members of many prominent musical groups (such as You Say Party! We Say Die!) on his "list," which is essentially a list of grievances, and for his posting on the SHZine Message Board [1]. (Note: the list has now been moved to a "subscribers-only" section of his website, which can only be viewed if the reader pays a fee $20 a month.) Pop-Punk group Fun 100 references him in the song "Hygiene Boy" (sometimes referred to as "Kenneth"), specifically in lines such as "You're tired of these people / everybody's on your list."
Keillor responded to Fun 100 and Hygiene Boy with the song "Scum 100".

[edit] Recent edit
I've recently made a number of edits to the article and thought it best that I provide a few explanations:
1) I have removed the references to the National Library of Canada (now Library and Archives Canada) following the titles of two of the subject's books. The past inclusion would seem to imply that the library had, in fact, published these items, when they are merely included in the collection - a requirement for every book published in Canada. Keillor's books are, in fact, self-published.
2) I've deleted the sentence and paragraph "Keillor is the creator of www.keillor.ca and www.thepunks.com which showcase his music and writings." While it is quite common for writers or musicians to have created sites promoting their work, I have yet to see this fact included as something of note within the text of a Wiki biography. I think the inclusion of the these two sites under External links is perfectly adequate.
3) As the contents of the section titled "Newspaper/magazine articles (or online periodicals)" appear to be intended as reference material, I have incorporated the articles in question under "References".
Other edits concern citation requests, duplicated links, WP:MOSBIO issues, and general clean-up. Victoriagirl 04:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
