Stephen Blauner

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously twice deleted as Steve Blauner (some time ago), this incarnation is entirely unreferenced and written in an inapproriate style. It is difficult to know what, if anything, is the truth in this article: clearly "during Steve's time, he worked with everybody" is an exaggeration - but what else is? Unverified, unencyclopaedic, probably original research - Delete. Ros0709 (talk) 22:29, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable music producer and industry figure. He's often interviewed, especially about Bobby Darin, and John Goodman played him in Darin's biopic, Beyond the Sea.  Note that when looking for sources, Steve Blauner is by far the most common version of his name. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  22:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep An article requiring cleanup and sourcing, certainly. Not deletion.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Problems with WP:RS can be overcome if someone takes the time to research and rewrite this article. Any takers? Ecoleetage (talk) 02:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The tone and style need improvement and it needs sources, but that's no reason to delete. He's clearly notable. Observe the Google book results Voceditenore (talk) 07:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. Note that the author is James Scalia and the article on Jimmy Scalia states "Jimmy Scalia(b.1960) ... currently serves as an adviser and consultant to ... Steve Blauner". There is clearly a COI here, and whilst personal recollections are good, Wikipedia is not the place for them - they are original research. The nomination is not whether this individual is notable, rather the issue is more whether the article itself conforms to policy. If it does not it should be deleted, but recreatable in a way that does. Ros0709 (talk) 23:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
