Joe Pica

Not Notable. No major releases (one unknown album in the 1950's) with hardly any Google hits outside this Wikipedia entry. Uncategorized and no sources, which doesn't need a encyclopedia article. semper fi — Moe 17:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

Weak keep There are references, and one album and a crapload of singles is close enough to two albums to pass W:MUSIC in my book. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Andrew Lenahan. Also, he is associated with a notable record label. J Milburn 20:27, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote the article. He's well known to people in a certain age group on the East Coast (U.S.). He was, by all accounts, an excellent piano player and showman. He had many singles and one album (perhaps more). He represents a certain type of artist/performer -- i.e., small-time piano player and lounge singer -- notably more successful than most. He composed at least three piano accordion solos: "The Silver Streak Polka," "The Helicopter Polka," and "Whisphering Willows." At least two of them were published c. 1953 by PostScript Music.

Weak Keep appears to be marginally notable, but only one source has him as aprimary subject. Note that Google really is worthless for topic like this. Eluchil404 11:47, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
