 * Delete - Notability is in question - I see nothing notable about this guy other than he was a grandfather of a composer. - Wo o  ty   Woot?   contribs  02:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to have been an influential figure in the Viennese opera boom of the era, and allegedly discovered Johann Strauss and strong-armed Jacques Offenbach into writing his first operetta. More: --Dhartung | Talk 04:30, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe you're confusing the grandson with the grandfather in a couple of those links, both have the name Max but with vastly different claims to fame :) - Wo o  ty   Woot?   contribs  04:40, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I thought he was confused too, but the article refers to the film composer's grandfather as the one who discovered Strauss, which would be the correct Max Steiner. C5mjohn 05:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I considered that confusion a possibility but decided against a lengthy explanation, wrongly apparently! Yes, information about Maximilian often appears in articles about Max, because there are more articles about Max. --Dhartung | Talk 06:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
