Talk:Dan Nichols

Anti-Deletion
Dan Nichols has written many songs sung in Jewish camps and youth groups across the country. He is very much notable. He is considered a "Jewish Rock Star." I am in the process of finding citations for my "preeminent" claim within the article. Please give this article a chance. Seriously. Jbbdude (talk) 15:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added a reference from the Los Angeles Times so this article definitely will not be deleted. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 23:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! He is a very influential musician. Jbbdude (talk) 15:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The notability of this person has not been adequately established according to Wikipedia standards. One reference does not merit inclusion.  The External links are inappropriate.

Keep I've attempted to clean up the article, and will do further clean up, but I am tired now. Dan Nichols is popular among Jewish circles, performing at summer camps, synagogues around the country, and has performed Union for Reform Judaism Biennials (2001-2009) and North American Federation of Temple Youth conventions. He is mentioned in the articles for those organizations as being notable, and appears on all of NFTY's Ruach compilation CDs. Kiddo27 (talk) 05:36, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete This person may be well known among a certain, limited, cultural segment of the populous but in general is not particularly notable in the mainstream populous nor the mainstream press. The sources attributed in this article (aside from the L.A. Times sole citation), are not of non-bias editorial nature. There are many people who are "popular" but whose specific activities are not of note or particular interest in terms of the general public, and thus should not be included in an encyclopedic article.

Improvement
The article has improved somewhat. The additional "mainstream", editorial references have increased but are not cited properly. I have to leave my vote at Delete until a few more citations (with links or retrieval dates) are added. Notability is still questionable. Will check in again to see if there are anymore verifiable citations.


 * If there is no back issue accessible for a source (i.e. - Walen, Drew, "Jew Rock Man!", Nashville City Paper, 2001, please indicate when you retrieved the printed article. If there is a link to the article on-line please include a hyperlink in the citation.) Also, Dan Nichols web-site ("history") is not an appropriate source for citation.

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. I've made the suggested corrections, and will continue to improve the article. Kiddo27 (talk) 04:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the article is shaping up. I would now vote to keep but continue improving.  Citations still need work.  Investor page on "SIRIUS XM" is not really an appropriate source but you could probably keep it if you format the citation differently.

Keep
