Approving this out of AfC. It was just declined by
AngusWOOF, however I disagree with his assessment. A NYT article along with a book written about the subject and a tribute song by a notable musician is more than enough to denote notability.

This needs to be fleshed out better. If the book has been critically reviewed to cover the case, then that helps. I also found an article that tried to add the name "Boyd" to the person. That Carpenter gave this person attention is also helpful.

AngusWOOF, Yeah to me the NYT article is the big winner and the book and song are the needed support, I'm not hinging the notability completely on the latter two. The book made the NY Times best seller list, yet I'm not sure incorporating that fact into this article would be appropriate.

Actually correction, the page summary I saw was deceiving, looks like the story inspired another book (wholly unrelated) that was a best seller. I'll try to find someone better to substantiate the book. Although it being distributed by a university press should suffice if something more explicit isn't found.

If the specific book concerning John Doe No. 24 isn't a best-seller, then keep the article at John Doe No. 24. Then the other news articles can be referenced.

Sure, just as soon as you explain why you approved an article that had not been changed since its last review, which was done by a reviewer far more experienced than you. That article is barely in English and has no place in the encyclopedia as it sets. Did you read it?

John from Idegon, Because the reviewer incorrectly declined it for notability reasons. Both you and I have pointed out that the person is in fact notable. Saying that its barely in English is pretty preposterous. Sure it has spelling and grammar issues, but AfC is not here to fix that.

I see your comment now. This will need to be moved back to mainspace when the redirect is cleared, per my message on your talk page, spelling and grammar are not reasons to decline an article, much less re-draftify one. Add the appropriate maintenance tags if you wish.

You are the one out of line here. Everything on Wikipedia comes down to consensus. Essentially, you boldly removed the prior review, which I restored. You've not convinced me you are correct. Provide some arguments other than you are more competent than
AngusWolf or myself or quit wasting time. You are not the absolute authority on anything here, nor am I. But you failed to AGF in re Angus's review and I set that straight. If you've got BRD arguments, make them. And I talk how I talk, and write how I write. I don't care you don't like it. Grow up.

I'm hardly competent, but I agree the article can be rewritten to be a more clear stub, taking into detail the NYT article and the Jacksonville Courier Journal (immediate local paper coverage). But there really needs to be more news and book articles, otherwise this could redirect to Carpenter's album as a single. Mental Floss is borderline. That the book was the inspiration for
Rachel Simon's best-seller would be good to include, although the inspiration part was discussed in a press release on Simon's website
http://rachelsimon.com/pdf/Dave-Bakke-The-State-Journal-Register.pdf, and should be better covered with an external article.

AngusWOOF, Yeah trying to find articles on this is a bit tricky because of the commonality of John Doe, and putting it in quotes with no. 24 is making it to specific and missing a lot I'm sure. To me its still more than enough to come out of AfC as I think it more than likely passes an AfD. I'll leave it up to you to publish/resubmit at your discretion as you're probably the only remaining neutral party here. Probably need to shoot the page creator a message too as I'm sure he's probably confused as all get out by now.
