 * Keep. Major book from a major press on a major subject, with plenty of RS out there demonstrating notability.  Classify as stub.  Qworty (talk) 03:47, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If you could provide said reliable sources, that would be good. If not, there's absolutely no verifiable content. Ironholds (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs expansion but is obviously notable given a Google search: NPR, New York Times, The American Conservative, Mother Jones, Seattle Weekly, PopMatters, Paste, Times Daily, Los Angeles Times, York Daily Record, SPIN. Undoubtedly a poor article that should have had more in it when created, but there's also little doubt that this is a suitable subject for an article.--Michig (talk) 07:13, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep in line with Michig's sources. Ironholds (talk) 11:49, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - maybe not as notable as Our Band Could Be Your Life (which thankfully has "no elvis, beatles, or the rolling stones"), but certainly notable enough to keep. Editorially, I'd also like it to be integrated somehow into appropriate places in the Clash/Strummer articles.  I don't know if there are other notable bios that should merit mention there as well.--Milowent • talkblp-r  15:43, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
