 * Weak keep per DarkAudit. That song regularly appeared in Dr. Demento's "Funny Five" throughout the 80s.  Notability is not temporary. -MrFizyx (talk) 16:09, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep -- He was a fairly prominent performer related to the Dr. Demento show in the 1980's. AnonMoos (talk) 19:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - a novelty performer with regular airplay on Dr. Demento. A search for news articles about him turns up many hits behind pay walls but I did find this one.  A google book search identifies 3 hits.  The first looks to be likely of substance. -- Whpq (talk) 19:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep – In addition to what others have noted, I found the following article, half of which is about Stankus and there is content from it that can be added to the article: Canfield, Owen (August 9, 1994). "Folks tune in, tune out for summer music", The Hartford Courant, p. D3. For most newspapers, my database goes back only to the mid-1990s, and I suspect that there would be newspaper coverage of him from before that time.
