Keith Buckner[edit]

{{The removed template is a legitimate photo of the composer who never allowed the photographer to 'own' it.}}

Comment. No, the photographer doesn't own that picture, but Wayne State does. The picture file included a tag that allowed them to trace it back. I don't have a good camera like Wayne State, but I could take a picture of you with my little point and shoot and no one can complain about that. Detroit Joe (talk) 20:25, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity page for a very good composer who is nevertheless not notable at all (WP:NMG). Incarnatus (talk) 20:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like character assassination. All information in this article is backed by references!User:aj4009 —Preceding undated comment added 19:21, 11 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Comment. More like a violation of Keith Buckner's privacy. What's his disability? Is it HIV-related? Is it psychological?
"'Comment."' The composer's disabilities are legitimate and documented by the United States government-why is the nature of his disabilities relevant? (Several disabilities are: 1) thirty five years of diabetes, 2) two heart attacks, 3) Left leg amputation, 4) right club foot, 5) hypertension.
About those references:
  1. Motor City Rock is acceptable, I suppose.
  2. James Hartway's page doesn't mention Keith Buckner at all!
""Comment."' See: http://www.music.edu/files/composers_concert.pdf
  1. LinkedIn profiles, as I understand them, are written by the persons themselves. Of course Keith Buckner is notable according to Keith Buckner.
""Comment."' If Keith Buckner thinks he may notable, perhaps it is so; Wikipedia's guidelines seem to suggest the same..
  1. The SoC page is definitely written by Keith Buckner himself.
"'Comment." See: http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Keith Buckner'
  1. A blog is not considered a reliable source by just about anyone. See WP:USERG.
"'Comment"' See http://media.www.thesouthendnews.com/library-to-feature-detroit-classical-music-1.1869046
  1. This one might actually be usable.
Besides, if Keith Buckner knew how easy it is to use Wikipedia to slander people, he would come in here and ask that this article be deleted. He can control what LinkedIn and SoC says about him. He can't control Wikipedia. Have him look up John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy. James470 (talk) 20:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"'Comment"' Stating, "What is his disability?', may certainly be acceptable, yet the asking "Is it HIV," or "Is it psychological," is in the gray area of defamation or slander! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aj4009 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 13 June 2011

Comment Maybe so, but I am not legally responsible. On Wikipedia, no one is. So I ask you, is all this trouble worthwhile? James470 (talk) 02:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I refuse to believe that this is an autobiography. Therefore, Keith Buckner's is neither diabetic, nor a cancer survivor, nor an amputee, nor a schizophrenic like Robert Schumann, nor a smoker, nor has HIV. He has other health problems which no one here knows about and which frankly are none of our business. James470 (talk) 17:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC) I also believe he's still alive, and if he's destined to be in New Grove, he has yet to write the music that will earn him an entry there. But if he wants to be in Wikipedia that badly, he can appear on Jersey Shore. James470 (talk) 17:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. WP:SNOW, anyone? James470 (talk) 17:27, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not going to flip-flop on this one. Keith Buckner is a great composer and one day you will all realize that. Detroit Joe (talk) 22:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
