Keep I am not convinced that this article doesn't meet WP:BIO guidelines and believe it should be retained. He has a new record coming out on HepCat records. Same label as the Stray Cats.The release is being touted as a historical collection of vintage,un-released punk music produced by Billy Zoom of "X" and Chuck Reed of Interscope Records. As his career expands this article will improve.--(Guitaro99 (talk) 02:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Keep I think the current refs establish some notablity. Despite a rocky start, I think there is some good stuff in this article, but it still needs more work. ukexpat (talk) 15:28, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which ref? I am having a hard time finding any verifiable ref with his name in it. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 15:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keepmost of the refs are about his bands, but all do talk about him at one point or another.D.Schneider(69.231.50.49 (talk) 19:56, 8 September 2008 (UTC))— 69.231.50.49 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

comment Also, re: above, if you go to "Bikini Island" ref. site at IMDB listed in article, you can see that the song "Shot Down" is listed there and so is his name in the Q&A section of IMDB re: movie.D. Schneider(69.231.50.49 (talk) 20:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)) Re: Shot Down on the IMDB site , you can see his song and name under the section on the first page called FAQ.It's toward the bottom of the first page.
