- Delete unverifiable non-notable vanity. Weregerbil 15:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Weregerbil. (I'm awfully suspicious of this one, since there's also a Danny Burke on AfD, also with outrageous and unverifiable (but totally different) claims, though that one's UK, while this one's Canadian. Maybe someone just like seeing his own name in Wiki?) Fan1967 20:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. most likely a hoax. Eivind 23:40, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The article's undeniable crap, but there actually is a concert promoter in Toronto named Dan Burke, who has been associated with the El Mocambo. Ref here, frex. (And for what it's worth, he didn't kill the ElMo, either: new owners killed it by booting him.) I'm not convinced that local band bookers really deserve their own articles, but this isn't a hoax — it's just a bad article about a real person who may not make it over the notability line. No vote yet; I gotta think about it for a day or two. But even if I come to the conclusion that he's keepable, this will definitely need cleanup, there's no doubt about that.
