Talk:Brad Spitz

From VfD:
Insignificant vanity. In addition, Google turns up precisely zilch for "the rainmakers" spitz. Ambi 14:57, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Delete as vanity if he cannot provide some sort of external link or other evidence that said CDs exist. 130.85.153.85 17:17, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Keep/Clean: Hang on. I'm not quite sure that the fellow is terribly notable, but, after some fancy digging, I found that "Brad Spitz" did provide the new soundtrack for the 1997 Nine Worlds. I don't know if a documentary soundtrack is really enough to pass our threshold, but it's not fabricated. Geogre 17:30, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: unverified, probable mixture of factoids and fabrications. Wile E. Heresiarch 21:36, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Begging your pardon about User:Pedant? Creator of multiple hoax articles? The last time I interacted with him, I was voting to keep his article on Glenn, alias Bongo the Clown. Pedant is adding useful content to the Wikipedia at the moment; as I said during my vote, I'd rather have articles on professional clowns than more articles on obscure video game trivia. So, can any of you point me out to hoaxes that he has been known to perpetrate? Special:Contributions/Pedant looks normal to me. Abstaining. --Ardonik 05:14, 2004 Aug 8 (UTC)
- I've now retracted that. Pedant and I had a chat, and I think we came to an agreement that unsubstantiated information is bad. Ambi 10:15, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I agree Pedant sometimes provides useful info, however, see discussion of Terry Teene above. Niteowlneils 18:44, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- No vote. After looking around, I did not find anything by this composer/artist on amazon.com or bn.com; however, that does not mean he is not notable. I took a look at the web page for Brad Spitz Productions and there are some accomplishments (some may consider them significant). It stated he's only been composing since 1992, so I don't know how notable he would be, but how does one judge these things? For lack of a more compelling argument, I am withholding my vote, but would lean toward keeping. Skyler 14:30, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)

- Keep I found one of his cd's at amazon you just need to search for "The Planets 2000", it will show up
Or you can check this link, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000001367/qid%3D1092430864/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-0705969-5675046
- No it wasn't a hoax, the removed material was removed by consensus, as it was unverified. It will be reposted if and when there is some substantiation provided. It certainly isn't a hoax that Terry Teene is a performer and clown or 'that other stuff' either. There was one incorrect fact in that article, and that was the title of a movie. anyway, if you think I'm a hoaxer, you are a perfect candidate to crosscheck das Kapital when I finish wikifying it, to make sure I don't make it look like he endorses coca-cola...Keep of course. I imagine it will get fleshed out pretty quickly when fans spot the article. oh yeah, try searching 'b brad spitz', 'brad spitz productions', 'spitz-tari', 'rainmakers' "brad spitz" + "patrick stewart"Pedant 22:44, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC) More: 1998 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Don Barrett featured Spitz' video in his lecture : "The Planets" A Case History of Vertical Integration... 'The Rainmakers' is not his claim to fame, it's just a band he was in whenever it was.Pedant 07:08, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
