Dead links
Wondering if this article should be deleted as references 1-4 are dead links and no new sources indicating notability can be found. I have tried to find links to replace the dead links but have been unsuccessful. Have seen the old talk page regarding speedy deletion, however, much of the reason why the article was preserved was because it indicated one reliable source Eye Weekly, which is now a dead link, and no other sources can be found to replace it. However, I went to the "Eye Weekly" website and was able to find his name linked to the band "PDF Format"...littlemissmachiavelli 18:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I think the article should be kept despite the dead links. Sometimes archived copies of references can be found using http://www.archive.org For example, an archived copy of the page from The Bastion can be found at http://web.archive.org/web/20071012033740/http://www.thebastion.org/2007/01/tuesdays_tidbits.html  It is important to remember, though, that references do not have to be online to be valid. A reference in a "dead tree" source is still verifiable, but obviously less readily than one available online. – Eastmain (talk • contribs)  20:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, even if a link is dead, that doesn't mean the information is no longer true. That it was once sourced and verified means it remains verified.  It's analogous to an expired passport still proving you are who you say you are.  Anyhow, it looks like new links have been found.  Not sure why none of the stuff from McSweeney's is there or sourced.  Googling his name shows multiple cultural achievements, such as repeat publication in McSweeneys and multiple features on Said the Gramophone, both important contemporary cultural mavens.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.172.116.157 (talk) 02:57, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

When will this be deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.49.185.84 (talk) 17:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
