- Keep A quick google search show's that he is notable, and was clearly the organist for the Lawrence Welk show for 38 years, I agree that references need to be added, but clearly passes WP:BIO. War wizard90 ( talk) 02:37, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- Weak keep based on his long service with Lawrence Welk, for which he got surprisingly little coverage; in fact almost everything in the article is unsourced. I wasn't sure what to make of this subject. When I searched for sources, the main thing that cropped up was information about a conviction for child abuse. But the reliable sources had very little information, and the more detailed sources seemed less than solid for that kind of BLP negative info, so I did not add it to the article. On the other hand, that was about the only significant coverage he received, other than the encyclopedic work about TV shows. And since we can't see that entry, we don't know how significant it was. Maybe we should merge this to The Lawrence Welk Show since virtually nothing in the article is verified. -- MelanieN ( talk) 02:25, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
