*Keep you are not addressing what i said. there is 'coverage' in papers, on tv and on radio of his none musical work. You did not see it? So he is not an active writer in several major NZ papers and on its main TV station and on etc etc? is it not clear from the internet that that is real? i show clearly that there is coverage..and in famous publications, repeatedly, and it is ridiculous not to accept the evidence of the TVNZ interview on youtube ( you can hear and see it!) or the clear scans of his work or the article on the press website (u can see thosetoo, right?). So what if he has not published music he published writing and appeared on major national media. How many more articles do u need? how many more interviews? for some one to meet your criteria! --kellyrussell34 (talk) 20:55, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
*Keep you know there are ppl on wiki with articles that basically just appear on trashy magazines writing nothing doing nothing being interviewd about no major world events. is that more notable? --kellyrussell34 (talk) 21:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
*Keep i was told if outside sources describe him then its notable... well he announced on his site that the auckland museme has invited him... very prestigious and with another academic.. so soon u will be lal shown to be wrong.--kellyrussell34 (talk) 07:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
