• Comment - It seems that the only actual coverage of this guy is not referenced in the article. [http://www.nydailynews.com/news/money/pop-star-wannabe-stu-strumwasser-raised-millions-natural-snow-beverages-article-1.185002 Pop star wannabe: Stu Strumwasser has raised millions with natural Snow Beverages], [//news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=20060219&id=gQwoAAAAIBAJ&sjid=idAEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6709,1196544&hl=en Did you see this?], [http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/twitter-investor-hid-earnings-child-support-dad-article-1.1530653 Twitter investor hid earnings from Brooklyn husband while seeking child support: suit] these might support an article just not the puff piece that exists now. Also none of the citations in the article point to anything. Jbh (talk) 22:55, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

• Comment This is a recently created article (two weeks ago), but it came into being in the form it is now. There are plenty of sources about a Stu Strumwasser who founded a cola company, sued his wife, and also was in a band. So far I have not been able to connect those to the book, nor can I find much about the book. It also is new (this year), can be found in only 3 libraries on Worldcat, and was not (yet?) reviewed in Booklist, which reviews books for libraries. (Not getting into Booklist means that libraries are NOT recommended to purchase your book.) So I think the information about the book is premature, although it may have been the impetus for the article. If the article is kept, I recommend putting the information about the book at the bottom of the article (essentially in chronological order). The references also should be beefed up with links, which will save the time of the reader and any reviewers of the article. Weak keep, but needs work. LaMona (talk) 20:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

• Interesting article. I think I would call Strumwasser a "serial ambitionist" with a bad case of wannabefamous. He's determined to hit it big, if not as a stockbroker, then in Indie Rock, or soda pop, or maybe as a novelist (on Kickstarter [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stustrumwasser/the-organ-broker]). This vanity article, created by an SPA, is interesting because he cites appearingly solid sources - but without links (except to attack his ex-wife, that one's linked [http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/twitter-investor-hid-earnings-child-support-dad-article-1.1530653], making it a chore to check them up. But, as User:LaMona points out, sources exist. I think this one, from the New York Daily News, pegs the guy: Pop star wannabe: Stu Strumwasser has raised millions with.... a soda pop company.[http://www.nydailynews.com/news/money/pop-star-wannabe-stu-strumwasser-raised-millions-natural-snow-beverages-article-1.185002]. He wants ot make it big, will try any route to fame. However, if the metric for passing WP:GNG is getting major media outlets to profile you "directly and in detail", Stu knows how to get it done.[http://www.timeout.com/new-york-kids/new-york-families/family-portrait-29] along with "Pop star Wanna be [http://www.nydailynews.com/news/money/pop-star-wannabe-stu-strumwasser-raised-millions-natural-snow-beverages-article-1.185002] and the one about the divorce [http://nypost.com/2013/11/26/ex-bitter-over-twitter-stock-sues/] add up to 3 feature stories (albeit the first one is brief). There are also sources on his career as a would-be soda-pop magnate (I just added a couple with links) and some I didn't add about his social media start-up (fail-up?). Like User:LaMona I vote weak keep. Why someone with Strumwasser's history of failed ventures and un-charming relationship with his children's mother wants his career on Wikipedia is a question for a Freudian psychiatrist. (There can be no violation of BLP when a guy this media-saavy eagerly talks about his marriage with the New York Daily News.) I am just following WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:31, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
