 * Unsourced non-notable spammy biography, vandalized or otherwise.  tomasz.  22:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, spammy and quite obvious in its failure of WP:MUSIC (no major label albums, no chart singles, no reliable sources, etc.) Note that the links for his albums actually point to novels of the same name.

JCGoodman- I am Joe Sidney's cousin, this is a real person, a real artist. He may not have a huge single or a major label, but he is a valid artist, and this is a true entry, not a fan page! This is his bio, whether he likes it or not! Would we find Velvet Underground's bio invalid in 1965 because they hadn't met Andy Warhol yet?? I strongly discourage deletion, and would prefer an edit to wikipedia's liking. It is not fair to exclude our community's greatest living songwriter and performer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JCGoodman (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Not even close to passing WP:MUSIC (based on albums, tours, sales, etc.). Being a real person doesn't make one notable (in fact, it's not even a prerequisite).  B figura  (talk) 03:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Could notability be established if the Hurricane Katrina claim is verified? -- Shark face  217  02:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply - The article is here that covers it. Note that Great Neck musician Joe Sidney presents his Concert for Katrina Relief, Saturday, Sept. 17 at 6 p.m. at Levels in the Great Neck Library.  which really says it is very local community coverage of a community event.


 * Delete - no reliaqble sources to establish notability. The Katrina thing seems to be rather minor, and although a wonderful thing to be doing, appears to be a minor community fundraiser much like many others that happened about that time. -- Whpq (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
