RE: Editorial question raised as to the significance/importance of this entry to Wikipedia and the larger Wikipedia community. My argument in favor of keeping this entry in Wikipedia follows. Please consider: Glick was a beloved member of the Chicago indie rock community and his death has affected many associated with Chicago's vital indie rock scene. Tragically, the significance of his death (strictly as pertains to Wikipedia editorial policy, of course) is amplified even more by the fact that two other significant members of Chicago's indie rock community died with him. As for arguing for their significance and hence inclusion in Wikipedia, I refer the editors to the links in the Glick and Returnables articles that lead directly to Ira Robbins' well-respected Trouser Press website. Also, please note that Glick's band was intimately related to other key music figures that already appear in Wikipedia: Jeff Pezzati and Naked Raygun. Glick's band was an extension of the Chicago power pop/mod-revival movement that began in Chicago in the 1980's with legendary Chicago power pop band Green, and the promotional efforts of Sue Miller, former owner of world-renowned (and sadly, now defunct) Chicago indie rock venue, Lounge Ax. Glick's band, the Returnables have an entry in the highly regarded old-school indie rock publication Trouser press. Finally, having had first-hand experience in Chicago's indie rock community (via Lounge Ax, Fireside Bowl, and Empty Bottle), I feel strongly that Glick's contributions to the Chicago indie rock community are noteworthy and deserving of inclusion in Wikipedia.--69.250.168.181 06:30, 20 September 2005 (UTC)bobo
