I am a fan of Katzman and Winslow, and know them both. I think Katzman is notable, merely based on the Google test and his associations. His extreme shyness and lack of exposure to the American mass market means he's not well known; he's not famous for being famous. Bearian 22:32, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

Please don't take this offensively, but this article needs alot of work before it can even be considered a Good Article.

• This is a very short article for a musical artist who has been active for approximately 40 years. I needs expansion work. It's good for summarizing what he has done, and can be used in the lead, but you need prose that goes into greater detail of what he's done at each stage of his career.
• Inline citations are good, and you seem to have a good amount of sources. Can you suck any more information out of them?
• Once expansion work has been done, you will have to change the lead accordingly. See WP:LEAD.
• Can you get any pictures of Katzman? Good articles can illustrate the subject using free images.
• Once you have expanded the article and worked on it more, I would suggest you ask for a peer review before re-nominating it.

Do not be discouraged by this. I understand you have put some work and effort, and I must say you have a good start. Just keep working on it, and try to tell more about what this artist has done throughout the 40 years of his career. Good luck! Cheers. -- Reaper X 23:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
