Notability not asserted, in my eyes. In addition, the article is fluff, from the phrase "Geza X was one of the crucial personalities" to the end. —Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:36, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete - producing a one-hit is not notable by itself, and keeping this would set a possibly dangerous precedent. I'd like to see better sources before changing my mind. Bearian (talk) 17:31, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- keep - Produced two hits plus song "Isotope Soap" was the notable hit from Let Them Eat Jellybeans (which has a wikipedia page of its own). The article as it stands is crap, though. Needs to be rewritten, top to bottom. 70.231.238.250 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:39, 13 October 2009 (UTC).[reply]

- Keep Seems to be worth including in some fashion. Is there an article on the LA punks scene and its history? ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:26, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Obviously needs work but Geza X was indeed a major player in the West Coast punk scene, producing records by many major bands. References certainly can be found if the work is put in. I hope We Got the Neutron Bomb has an index, I'll check right now... TheJazzDalek (talk)
- Keep. Article is, indeed, crap, however, the subject almost certainly is notable. There are a number of hits for him in the LA Times pay archives through the 80s, but I can't access them at the moment. The google snippets use terms like "iconic" and "dean". If I can get in I'll come back with any hits I can find. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 16:03, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- He has a 1000 word article about him in the May 30, 1998 issue of Billboard titled "Producer Geza X Moves From Punk To Pop Mainstream", no online link I can find. Given that his heyday was pre-internet, I think he's solidly notable. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 16:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
