 * Keep - The tone of the article is about promotional, however Friedman has received coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Behind pay walls, but the headline, and excerpt material make it very clear that Friedman is the primary subject of the coverage: Lexington Herald (January 25, 2008), San Luis Obispo Tribune (November 1, 2007).  More readily readable are articles in the Boston Globe (March 20, 2009), Newsday (March 29, 2009), and Regina Leader-Post (DECEMBER 8, 2007). -- Whpq (talk) 17:09, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep- It may be short, but its sources are right. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 02:12, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep I know its a common name, but how hard did the nominator look? Search for his name and "Billy Joel" together and you get ample results on Google news archive search.    D r e a m Focus  04:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
