However prominent a figure in the music industry the article claims this fellow is, no sources substantiate it. Only 72 Google hits [1], none reliable, and no sign this fellow passes WP:BIO. Ravenswing 19:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC) Ravenswing 19:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Object to Delete This page was created due to the fact this person is referenced on several Wiki pages (ex 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversafest#Festival) but does not have a primary wiki page.
Considering most music industry pros are behind the scenes people, and the subject is found on multiple search engine pages (as well as on wiki under "Codr", "D Codr", or "Dave Codr") warrants a page for this person. There are not as many online references as more prevalent public figures receive due to the fact most of the press written on this person was written PRIOR to the internet's mainstream usage.
Just because it occurred before the web was in full effect is not a reason to remove it. I understand the policy of not creating pages for any tom dick and jane, but someone who works with and speaks to thousands of musicians across the country, has been on national TV and is known in industry circles should have a page on wiki. Just because you dont know who he is does not mean that is the case for everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mamallama (talk • contribs) 21:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply: We don't need Internet sources. If you can come up with reliable sources from the print media, that would suffice. I just don't think any exist, and no one's come up with any in the last few days. Ravenswing 13:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. In response to Mamallama, at the same time, that he is a professional that works behind the scenes would seem to imply that he does not in fact meet notability criteria. He should still be active enough to warrant recent press. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Napsterbater (talk • contribs) 21:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
