Overkill not an official release
Overkill and some of the smaller releases should not be considered official releases. From here Aleksander says about Overkill: "a bastard child. not planned, just came to be. Its just a collection of single tracks. There is no overall theme to the record, so its not an official album" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petwoip (talk • contribs) 19:39, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks like an official release to me: http://shop.savantofficial.com/album/overkill Fresheneesz (talk) 06:24, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Advertisement
Someone seems to have put up an advertisement fairly recently. Care to comment? What exactly reads like an ad in this article? A Wikipedia article about a person is obviously gonna talk about that person's accomplishments, no? Fresheneesz (talk) 06:27, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't place the advertisement tag, but I do see some material in the lead section that could be cleaned up. WP:NPOV describes one of Wikipedia's major policies - neutral point of view. The lead section of the Vinter entry contains terms that are subject to interpretation - many more, gifted, prodigious musical abilities, incredibly fast. It's best to leave those out or to replace them with objective facts. That way we'll maintain the tone of an encyclopedia rather than sounding like we promote Vinter. It is good that the claim about the 10,000 songs is clarified as a claim of Vinter's - but even better is to find an independent third-party reference (not his website) which addresses the claim. Even the claim of being a savant could use a third-party reliable source. Hope this helps. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 10:42, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I apologize. I mistook you for a newer editor until I peeked at your contributions. Pardon the long-winded lecture. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 10:47, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Possible Name Change
Between the multiple aliases and especially considering the fact that it sounds like Blanco isn't fading out anytime soon, I was wondering if maybe the page's name should be changed to "Aleksander Vinter" rather than "Savant". Any thoughts? — RacaOfficial (talk) 16:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Furthermore, the page's name in most other languages is "Aleksander Vinter," correct? — RacaOfficial (talk) 23:56, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It was Aleksander Vinter here too, but was changed to Savant per WP:COMMONNAME. If common name is shifting, it may be suitable to rename. -- ferret (talk) 00:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Savant syndrome
Is there any sourced claim or diagnosis that he has savant syndrome? Andy Dingley (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
