Can't find any info about this guy-no links or refs either. It might be important, but is he important enough to have his own page? No pages link to here either Wgolf (talk) 17:36, 19 April 2014 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator-withdrawing this seeing that it is someone important to the culture out there-needs a major cleanup though.

 * Keep, a quick google books search reveals several entries on him, and they are in line with the material in the article. The article needs cleanup, wikification and references, but the subject is notable. For example, there is a biography dedicated to him; http://books.google.com/books?id=TTw_AAAAMAAJ and a documentary film with the same name. --Soman (talk) 21:22, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay found some stuff-I think the article has the problem of sounding a bit too bias though.

 * I also found it odd that there is nothing about him on here at all so it almost seemed not important, well we will see what happens.  Wgolf (talk) 01:32, 20 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay I think the article needs more then just a bunch of dates of what happened as it looks more like just a timeline right now. But at least it does look somewhat better. Wgolf (talk) 02:24, 21 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
