Talk:Beatle Bob

message: Beatle Bob should not be deleted because of his recognisability in the St. Louis community.  He is something of a pop culture icon.
The above statement is not an argument that Mr. Matonis is "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines.  Every village has its "eccentric" who is known for some type of OCD-like behavior and Mr. Matonis is the representative "eccentric" for a small burb of St. Louis that has a lot of music venues.  There are far more prominent people, artists whose shows Mr. Matonis attends, who do not qualify for notability under Wiki guidelines.  It's a travesty that a mere member of their audience should be regarded as more notable than they.  He goes to music shows and he dances.  That's it.
If Mr. Matonis is the subject of  a Wikipedia article, it effectively opens the door for ANYONE to have an article based simply on his or her devotion to a particular pastime.  This article should be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
:These notability litmus tests are what is ruining Wikipedia.  Forunately, in Beatle Bob's case, there is a wiki about St. Louis that isn't full of jerks and stupid policies.  Go see his page here: Beatle Bob on WikiLou.  --Mijunkin 20:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Beatle Bob's presence is widely noted at many, many music festivals across the country (and some outside the country, as I understand). By no means is he just a St. Louis personality. Twalls 15:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed the sentence "He is the subject of an upcoming documentary entitled Superfan: The Lies, Life and Legend of Beatle Bob." from the "Other music industry activities" section because I can't find any evidence that it was released. I found articles from 2006 and 2007 that mention the yet-to-be-released documentary, but there is no mention of it in newspapers available through Nexis Uni (formerly Lexis Nexis) or in IMDB.
