a slightly sanitised vanity bio where most of the details are sourced only from WP:SPS. His one claim to fame seems to be having discovered and signed Madonna to Sire Records, but I'm not sure that alone would make him 'worthy' enough for a WP article. Most external sources make only trivial mention of him, yet the pre-sanitised version has him as "one of the music industry's most notable A&R executives"; most of the remainder of the bio remains lamentably inadequate per WP:RS since before the last AfD in October 2009.

  • Neutral. I deprodded (esp as blpprod didn't apply) and sanitised it as well as doing as little sourcing. He was a senior VP A&R at MCA and there are more mentions of him in sources,[1] so please check before !voting. Also, I doubt this is a reliable source but this website has an interview with him:[2].

  • Delete he has a lot of namesakes (it seems a medical doctor of the same name gets a lot more coverage) but you would think being a founder of a very famous label would get him indepth coverage but no.
