I really wanted to simply mark this as reviewed, as "Those Magic Changes" was an incredibly influential song for me back in the 70s. However, a search turned up zero in-depth references from independent reliable sources about him. Was a soft delete back in 2023, which has apparently recently been contested. As an ATD, a redirect to Sha Na Na might be warranted. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:44, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Ineligible for soft deletion.

• Merge: to the Sha nana article seems ok, was the lead singer for a number of years. [1] Gnewspapers has all kinds of hits on his name, but always in context of the group. Or merge a small portion to the article about the band, I'd be ok with that too. Oaktree b (talk) 21:53, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
