Dennis Lewin[edit]

Fails WP:BASIC. Although article appears well sourced, only one local story from the Cleveland Plain Dealer could possibly be used to establish notability -- far short of "substantial" coverage. Subject is repeatedly mentioned only in passing in other sources, often in reference to short-lived, barely-if-at-all notable 1980s rock band "Beau Coup". Article was speedy-deleted in 2008 per WP:A7. Levdr1lp / talk 18:38, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename article to Beau Coup without redirect, and remove excessive and poorly sourced detail on single member of band, who only asserts notability per WP:MUSICBIO by association with the band. They charted in the Billboard Hot 100, and appear to be notable enough for an article. Ruby Murray 19:51, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Ruby Murray's proposal. Levdr1lp / talk 19:43, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Although Beau Coup was a very renowned band of the 80's, it was seemingly short lived after Lewin left the band. Dennis Lewin is a more notable subject for Wikipedia for many reasons. First of all it was Dennis Lewin that wrote and produced all but 2 of the song's Beau Coup did. 3 of them hit the charts and 1 hit the top100. Most of the band members are at present doing nothing in the musical field. Lewin continues to produce and perform. Since 1998 he also is a very popular radio personality airing in 2 states and in Indonesia. Formerly in Houston and on the BBC. I think the originator of his page made too much reference to Beau Coup and not enough to his other accomplishments past and present possibly. I am trying to do what ever is possible to preserve the page and have it accepted in to Wikipedia. I would appreciate any help from y'all! Thank you!
