Comment: Oh, for Chrissakes. Look, I'm sure he's a cool guy, but would he show up in Encarta? Encyclopedia Britannica? Heck, would he even show up in Who's Who in America? Where are the news articles talking about him? Where are the books in which his "recognizable influence" is discussed? Where, oh where, could the |reliable sources be? I strongly recommend that the closing admin ignore the Single-Purpose Accounts and rid the encyclopedia of this... er... well, I guess you could call it an article, but "hagiography" would also work

From , "one measure of publicity is whether someone has been featured in several external sources (on or off-line)." I think Snider passes the notability test, although as little as six months ago the case would have been harder to make.  However, the article does need to be improved so the more notable aspects of Snider's career are given more prominence, and it especially needs more links to external sources other than Snider's websites. '''Disclaimer:''' I am an occasional contributor to the message board at Snider's site, but my edit history will show that this is not a SPA (although I have been on wikibreak for the past few months
