Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jay Sebring
Thanks for the ping. Yes, he fails , but he passes . He was quite notable for his hair styling career even before he was killed. According to sourced material in the article, he "invented a whole new way of cutting men's hair", and his techniques are still being taught 40 years after his death, via his still-existing company Sebring International. Seriously, I thought I had firmly established this person's notability with the recent sources I added: I doubled the prose portion of the article and added four new sources, all of which are about him and his career, not about the murders. The NYT article you linked to above is 3 pages long and is entirely, significantly about him and his hair styling career; it was written more than 30 years after his death which should establish his lasting significance. Oh, and as of 2013 a biopic movie about him was reportedly in the works.http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/hautehouse_row/James-Franco-to-direct-and-star-in-biopic-of-murdered-celebrity-hair-stylist-Jay-Sebring.html If the murder portion of the article needs more sources, those can readily be added; but those are about the crime and thus are less important to the article than the material about HIM
