 * Keep I have added some of the listed above sources onto the article because we do not want an article sitting sourced only to the subject's own website. There is a lot more work that needs to be done in improving the article, but Arvin does meet our inclusion criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Coolabahapple and Johnpacklambert. I've also found a cite for the claim about Gene Simmons optioning one of his books and made its wording a little more encyclopedic. Vaticidalprophet 09:21, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
