Opinion
editI just heard Nanes Symphony for Strings on Music Choice Classical Masterpieces. Good enough for an article. Not all vanity publishing is bad. Who are the gatekeepers anyway?
In prior cases, I have found far less notable people with unchallenged articles using a brief sampling with random page. I listed a few in Talk for the Ted Alan Worth article then under challenge for notability. Examples included a swimmer who never won anything or even made an Olympic team and a Bishop who was born, ordained, promoted to bishop (as thousands are) and died. Those are still there last time I checked. None of them did one thing, based on the article, as notable as completing and recording the Symphony for Strings I heard to today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jszigeti (talk • contribs) 17:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
Birth year
editFor what it's worth, I checked Nanes's copyright registrations at the U.S. Copyright Office and his birth year is consistently listed as 1928.
(To check; go to www.copyright.gov, click Search Copyright Records, type Nanes, Richard in the search box and select the Name option in your search. There are 23 registrations; two list no birth year; the other 21 say 1928. Unfortunately, it's a session-based website, so you can't copy a persistent link.)
This probably falls into WP:OR, so I'm not going to update the article with it, but that would have been the information he himself provided to the Copyright Office in his registrations. TJRC (talk) 04:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
