No real assertion of notability. I considered speedy deleting it, but wanted to be sure. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 03:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I am also proposing the following related pages for deletion:

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- -- pb30<talk> 04:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete all as A7 (non-notable band/people), except for Dan Bowden, which could just be deleted normally. Just releasing two albums isn't a claim to notability at all. I didn't tag Dan Bowden for A7 since he claims to be a music professor, which could be an assertation of notability.

  • Keep Bowden, on the basis of the best-selling instruction books listed in his Berklee official CV. Not a good idea to jointly nominate people of such different degrees of notaqbility.DGG (talk) 05:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable as a published author and a professor at a major school.--Tikilounge (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: I think DGG's mentioning of the instruction books may be more significant than the professorship. One notes that Berklee has 59 professors of guitar alone; it's not exactly the same as what professor means at other institutions. Not all will be notable for their position alone.

Perhaps, though we can also consider that Berklee is an important music school. As you noted he's not just a professor, he's also a published author. So - an author with the additional qualification of being a professor at an important school, and also a couple albums released, that adds up to notable enough to have an article. --Tikilounge (talk) 19:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete far too non-notable. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC).
  • Keep Being a music professional myself, Bowden is actually quite notable in the blues, bluegrass, and jazz scenes. Interviews with him are constantly showing up in American, British, Japanese, and Spanish publications. This reason alone proves his notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnjack22 (talk • contribs) 01:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
