Arnie Ginsburg

 * — (View AfD)

Article written in informal tone by user with no other contribs, claims to fame are unreferenced and look like hyperbole. Guy (Help!) 11:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless citations and sources are included so the whole thing affirms notability Alf photoman 16:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, there seems to be more to the article but I am not yet convinced as to WP:BIO Alf photoman 11:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Tape recorded DJ shows were common in the 1960s, such as Dex Card. No sources. Edison 22:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Added two sources, you can find more on google just by searching for Arnie Ginsburg Woo Woo or Arnie Ginsburg Boston. Apparently many of the old bands credit him with breaking them into the scene nationally. See what else I can dig up. Article needs work, hope it was prod'd for a while before being put up and that Guy at least did a google search first. Just to note he is highlited in two other articles for radio stations he had an impact at. --Nuclear Zer0 03:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Make that 4 all together, lots more but had to make sure they were RS / V. This guy is known as one of Bostons most recognized voice from the 60's apparently. --Nuclear Zer0 04:00, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just added another ref of his career afterwards, became General Manager of 2 other stations before becoming a partner of WXKS/KISS FM then owner of WVJV-TV. When WVJV-TV sold to the Home Shopping Network he went back to being a president of Pyramid Broadcasting. --Nuclear Zer0 13:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I just have to point out that if you want an example of a DJ who really did help bands to break out, then John Peel is your man. Guy (Help!) 14:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you should research Ginsburg he is often credited with bringinng London to America. I believe one of the article I cited mentions that. --Nuclear Zer0 14:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC) Arnie was also among the first to discover that some new music was starting to come out of England. One fateful day in 1963 he heard of a record that was topping the charts in the UK, got himself a copy sent from abroad, and was the first in the US to play it. And that record was. . . well, it was only “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On the Bedpost Overnight)” by Lonnie Donegan. The Beatles were still a few months away, but he made sure we heard them too. Also if you check the "what links here", from Arnie Ginsburg you can see he was credited with breaking the track "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen also sourced in the Arnie article and you will see how popular he was and notable. He is also mentioned in a host of other radio station articles for his popularity. This seems like a dead issue, notability is obviously established. --Nuclear Zer0 15:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
