are you out there to just save a couple bits? his allmusic reviews are quoted/re-quoted regularly. 96.42.182.14 (talk) 05:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For fans of indy, rock, alt, etc. he is a notable reviewer and critic. Joelrashflint (talk) 05:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Susan Stark profile (multiple pages) appears to be SIGCOV. No? Cbl62 (talk) 11:15, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly. It's definitely a "local boy makes good" piece which, per WP:GNG, creates the assumption but not a guarantee of notability. Given that it's a minor acting credit (he was billed 36th), and there being a lack of secondary sources about any other aspect of his career, I'd say it's thin.

Delete: I don't see much coverage for him, in newspapers or otherwise. Oaktree b (talk) 20:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This might be about him, he would be about the same age [1]. Still not enough. Oaktree b (talk) 20:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NACTOR and WP:NBAND. He might be a triple threat, but as an actor, musician, or writer, he is just not notable. But passing references are not enough. Bearian (talk) 17:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
