Notability issues

I would agree that this article has many issues and might be refactored somehow. However I do not think notability is one of them. I think it could be shortened and more biographical information added. A youtube video that is a recording of his firing at Z102 in 1988 is actively gathering over 1100 comments for an event that happened over 30 years ago lends credence to its historicity. I certainly understand the question but in this case it likely skates inside the line.

Is there a standard for notability?? Because if this gets deleted I can think of a few more articles which are biographies of Wikipedians themselves used for self promotion (and manage to somehow miraculously stay) that should be kicked to the curb immediately.

I'm of the perception that it does not seem notable to some people because they do not or did not belong to the communities which these people circulated. Perhaps that might be used in some future metric for notability. I do not have the time resource to spend on this article at the moment which it does need, but I do think it should remain until cleaned up. Nodekeeper (talk)

I genuinely think that this needs a slight refactor as well, because the way it is currently is very written from the POV of Coyote or someone who is really a big fan of them. I will say that the article has been genuinely getting better over the years but it has a ways to go before it really seems to be an article up to Wikipedia standard (at least for one of a living person.) It does not have high quality sources, in my opinion for some things since it links to things like MySpace, and other social media places. It is also generally missing citations. This article mostly reads like a effort at self-promotion, like you mentioned.

I am in agreement with what you have said about this article's notability. That is all.
