Dave Kaplan (talent manager)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seems to fail GNG. All of his notability is wrapped up in Surfdog Records. There is nothing here that suggests Dave Kaplan Management is noteworthy enough for a page of their own so I suggest either delete, merge, or redirect to Surfdog Records. It should also be noted that both this page and Surfdog Records have been heavily edited by COI editors since 2012.

Going through the sourcing: this is an alumni page which just gives a very brief overview of his life. Nothing in-depth. this is less than one paragraph which just talks about MOM. Doesn't even mention Kaplan (further showing he isn't notable on his own). this is a deadlink. this doesn't even mention Kaplan. this is a dead link. this doesn't mention Kaplan.
