Notability[edit]

Subject's main claim to notability is membership of notable band Mecca Normal. While the article does mention extra-curricular activity, i.e. the book on torture, even it was a collaboration with bandmate Jean Smith. Aricle thus could perhaps be merged. It's good that he appears on the disambig page, as there is more than one David Lester. Wwwhatsup (talk) 04:40, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What drew my attention to this article was the title; although he is an artist, author and publisher, the title should reflect not what he does (many in the entertainment industry have several strings to thier bow) but what he is notable for. With titles like this, it's usually someone who has some claim to notability in several areas but doesn't meet WP:MUSIC or WP:Notability (people)#Creative professionals in any of the areas. This is my opinion of David Lester. If this is merged to Mecca Normal, I wouldn't pursue the prod to AfD, so I support the proposal. Best wishes, Boleyn3 (talk) 10:37, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a mergeto tag. I'll copy the arguments above to that article's talk.. Wwwhatsup (talk) 20:30, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
