- Keep Certainly there are problems with the article's tone/POV, but the article indicates his long and important career: although much of it is in the pre-internet era, that shouldn't count against him. Google Books shows literally dozens of mentions in Billboard including an article on him in 11 Oct 1997[1] There's also extensive coverage in a Spin article on the Miami scene from Apr 1988[2]. More recently he's often featured in gay interest and sometimes in the entertainment press[3][4][5][6][7] Notable via WP:GNG regardless of chart placings under his own name[8] and involvement in hit records. --Colapeninsula (talk) 23:07, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep in agreement with Colapeninsula; just because an article has been missing references for years doesn't instantly force it to be deleted. Mewtwowimmer (talk) 16:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
