 * The second link is a copy of the Wikipedia article. The first may also be based on the Wikipedia article, as in the older versions of the page on www.archive.org Gonzalez was only added in 2007, and the text on the page is similar to the Gary Lewis (musician) and Gary Lewis & the Playboys articles. — Snigbrook  00:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * comment:References - Nowlin, Bill. The Kid, Ted Williams in San Diego. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Rounder Books, 2005. ISBN 1579400949. Discusses Williams' early life and extensively documents his ancestry DonDeigo (talk) 17:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It depends how much coverage there is in the book – also more than one source is needed to meet the general notability guideline. Notability as part of Gary Lewis & the Playboys would make a redirect possible (with a possibility of merging any verifiable content) as suggested in WP:MUSIC, although if this is done a disambiguation would be needed as there is also Dave Gonzalez (musician), an article which was kept after a "no consensus" AFD (this is how I became aware of the Dave Gonzalez article). — Snigbrook  22:40, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * comment; With the documentation referenced about Dave in Bill Nowlin's Ted Williams bio book, and verification of Dave's band membership on Gary Lewis's website - this article should remain as a stub; which expands on members of a famous American Rock & Roll band.

 * Delete I didn't see evidence of notability. Although he has some famous family members? ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * COMMENT; Dave's a legend - played and jamed with every band in south bay in the '70's what's the deal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.203.192.36 (talk) 07:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as is; I saw this Dave Gonzalez playing at the Palamino Club in Hollywood, CA back around 1973 or '74 - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.203.192.36 (talk) 19:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Gary Lewis and the Playboys. I thought I'd surely be able to find some good references on him given his long presence in the industry, but I've failed. Redirect to the band, and perhaps someone else will be able to flesh this out as a separate article when notablity is proven.
