[edit] Andi Lothian

Andi Lothian (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A rather nonnotable person, whose only claim for notability is his claim that he coined the term "Beatlemania" in olden days when he had something to do with music. This claim is only confirmed from his radio and newspaper interviews. I failed to find any independent confirmation in rather scant 132 unique google hits, and the article Beatlemania (an various beatlemaniac mailing lists) cast doubts on this. For example, "Richard Buskin in "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Beatles" says that the term was definitely not coined following the Palladium concert, but instead first appeared in the Daily Mirror on Saturday, November 2nd." I don't think wikipedia must be a promotion vehicle for this guy. `'Míkka>t 17:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Non-notable, even his "insights discover" link is dead. Renee (talk) 18:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
    • It was not dead, only wrong syntax. I fixed it. `'Míkka>t 18:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
