He is Jewish, this should be added to the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.230.72.70 (talk • contribs).
Wohhh don't go there. Thats not appropriate this is not a place to fuel anti-semetism. Golfdude8000 (talk) 23:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Contrary to the discussion above, I would contend that the initial sentence, "Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a Jewish family, Goldstein was..." is unnecessary and badly written. Other articles wouldn't have, "Born to a Christian family..." or "Born to a Black family..." By specifically pointing it out, it implies that there is something odd or unusual about having a Jewish family. There isn't and such language doesn't belong here. Unless Adam had a notable connection to Judaism, it's not appropriate to make a leading point. --HidariMigi (talk) 01:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Did Goldstein actually have a memorial mass before his burial in a Jewish cemetery? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.219.223.130 (talk) 16:45, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Regardless of his connection to Judaism, his Jewish ethnic background should be mentioned in this article, as it is in many other articles featuring irreligious Jews. What you have to realize is that it doesn't matter if it was his parent's religion or not, as being Jewish is separate from practicing Judaism. And by the way, he is buried in a Jewish cemetery. I have added his Jewish ethnicity in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.31.120 (talk) 02:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone else think this isn't worthy of mention? It's nothing compared to 'superstar DJs' such as Oakenfold, Tiesto etc, who usually command double for a set. 213.218.238.85 06:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually Tiesto takes about $100.000/hour and has a 2-hour minimum per set. But yeah, I agree with you. Adwicko (talk) 10:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Yes Tiesto makes way more but consider this Tiesto was voted number One DJ in DJ Mag several years in a row: DJ AM was not a huge techno DJ. Currently mostly techno DJs get paid these extreme amounts, Hip Hop, Rock, Mashup and other DJs that don't produce tons of their own tracks, or tracks and remixes for major artists do not recieve this kind of money on a normal basis. To come up from nothing and eventually make this kind of money as a DJ is still extraordinary. --VanguardReviews 10:11, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Is he dating her or not? I'm freaking breathless here.
Just started an article on the crash itself, but I'm not established enough to add the link to this article due to the semi-protection. Carolina wren (talk) 17:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

template. ~ mazca t | c 22:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Okay, obviously a tragic situation, but since when did TMZ become an appropriate source for news? That's all I see here. - eo (talk) 23:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Adding that he suffered from "survivors guilt" is an attempt to make his death seem "heroic". He was a crack addict and had drug issues well before the learjet accident. Some of the information in here seems like it was written by a fan or a friend of Mr. Goldstein and there are NPOV issues. Bostonalex (talk) 01:01, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
- He was a recovering addict, who relapsed. He seems heroic to me, to be honest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.72.225.46 (talk) 10:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- It provides insight into part of the reasons why he relapsed --VanguardReviews 10:14, 10 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by VanguardReviews (talk • contribs)
Who is this "Butler" that he broke up with? There is only one mention of the person. Did he end the employment of his butler? --Paploo (talk) 04:26, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
The sentence under the heading "Early Life and Career" states:
"He began taking drugs, so her mother placed him in a treatment center that specialized in “tough love.” It should say, "He began taking drugs, so his mother placed him in a treatment center that specialized in “tough love.” —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nearart (talk • contribs) 14:54, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Really poor grammar
The main site says: "Adam Goldstein was found dead at his New York City apartment at around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2009. He was 36 years old. Friends called the police, who along with paramedics broke into the apartment and found Goldstein's body. Sources say the cause of death may have been accidental drug overdose.[21][22] Statements by a New York law enforcement official to the Associated Press indicate that drug paraphernalia was found in the apartment, but no signs of foul play.[23]"
To be more gramattically correct, please change to:
"Adam Goldstein, 36, was found dead at his New York City apartment Friday, August 28, 2009. Sources say the cause of death may have been accidental drug overdose.[21][22] At this point, the NYPD is stating that there are no signs of foul play.[23]" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.178.166 (talk • contribs) 07:36, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
I dont know any of his music, but do know he was a guy who made music. So any offical mixtapes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galaxiehoon (talk • contribs) 09:42, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Agreed, I'm not familiar with his music neither, but the page needs an update, also worth mentioning his guest apperance in Entourage Adwicko (talk) 10:40, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
What is with the line regarding Mandy Moore in the lead-in?? While it may be worth noting under the section regarding the plane crash, it is most defintely not needed in the lead-in. Unless there is objection, I will be removing it and making sure it is mentioned in the proper section.Alex (talk) 19:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
I am sure at some point I heard he had a gastric bypass or some sort of weight-loss surgery. At the time I heard this, he was dating Nicole Richie and I was surprised to hear it because he was thin. IIRC, it was in a quote from Adam, but I forget why he was discussing it. Can you check that out for the bio? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.225.94.157 (talk) 23:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
I've clipped from the article this section was directly a copyvio from http://www.glamour.com/magazine/2008/01/dj-am
