Unreferenced BLP. Laun chba  ller  21:53, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Please note that the previous AfD was nine years ago, and its rationale was its length. Needless to say, it was kept.-- Laun  chba  ller  22:04, 4 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Subject is clearly notable - see these Google News Archive search results and these Google Books search results for starters.  As for lack of references, that shows a need for improvement not deletion.  The only thing in the article that is objectionable from a BLP standpoint is the  "Sir Sominex" quote - that could be yanked pending someone giving a source (on a quick look I see web mentions but not an RS).

 * Keep. I've been able to reference almost everything in the article, including his friendship with Springsteen. The Sir Sominex thing appears to be a running gag - two examples added. Press mentions, book mentions, including a Kirkus review of his book. Meets GNG. I only wish the article creator had referenced it! Yngvadottir (talk) 15:34, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Absolutely brilliant. (As this was an entirely unreferenced BLP before, expanding it 2x would make it eligible for WP:DYK.) Withdrawn.-- Laun  chba  ller  16:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
