Danny Bacher

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject does not meet the notability requirements at Notability (music) or more generally at Notability (people). 4meter4 (talk) 22:15, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

The Wikipedia notability requirements for musicians state: "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria: Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." As the artist has been reviewed twice by the New York Times (a non-trivial, reliable source), the page should not be a candidate for deletion. Deeeyewhy (talk) 23:08, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * There is no indication in any of the references that the actor Dan Bacher, the director Danny Bacher, and the jazz musician Danny Bacher are the same person. Only one of four references could describe Bacher as the primary subject as two are reviews of the plays where the play is the primary subject and the Broadway world article is a press release most likely penned by the subject or his agent. If Mr. Bacher were the primary subject of a significant article profiling his supposedly notable career we would not have trouble knowing if these articles are indeed about the same person. This whole article is a construct of Original Research and there really is only one quality reference where Bacher is the primary subject. Even then, the article is really not about Bacher but about one particular performance at the Manhattan Club. There is no biographical information in any of these articles. The lack of any sort of biographical content is another indication of a lack of notability. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:25, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Weak delete. From his official website, it appears that he is the same person who co-wrote and performed in The Funniest Show in the World (2006) and who performed in a jazz show Swing That Music (2015). Having said that, the claim to notability is very thin—two shows which have been reviewed in the space of nine years, and zero coverage of Bacher's life or career. The shows were in tiny theatres/cabarets. The Funniest Show in the World played in New York to a theatre that seats 100 people. True they were reviewed by the NYT, but then the NYT is also a local paper for the New York City area. The article is padded with name-dropping and appears primarily to be a plug for an album which hasn't even been released yet. It also has many biographical details with no published sources which suggests an autobiography. If the article is kept, all of that will need to be removed/rewritten. I'm willing to change my view if evidence surfaces of significant coverage of the claimed national and international tour of The Funniest Show in the World.

 * Delete and draft & userfy for now as the article is noticeably unsourced and this can be moved to articlspace again when better. SwisterTwister   talk  00:17, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
