Adam Stemple

• Delete Vanity, not notable Revolución 23:03, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, minor author, local musician, neither quite making it up to the level of overall importance, influence of achievement I'd consider necessary. If anyone can show good sales for any of his books (e.g appearance on any of the NY Times Best-Seller lists) then I'll reconsider. Average Earthman 13:24, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--published author, incl. writing a collection of stories with the clearly notable Jane Yolen and published in a (admittedly minor) "Best of the Year" edition. Meelar (talk) 13:52, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with expansion. Co-wrote 9 songs with Steven Brust on Songs from the Gypsy, a Boiled in Lead enhanced CD. Boiled in Lead albums are available nationwide; my opinion that "local musician" understates the case. Singer of Souls Tor Books 2005 ISBN 0765311704 is his first novel (although he has written two others with Jane Yolen). --WCFrancis 16:09, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The CD above had the distinction of having the full text of Brust's novel The Gypsy, on which the songs were based.

Further info from Boiled in Lead web site: "The group and the individual musicians have won over 18 Minnesota Music Awards, and toured throughout the US and in Europe. (See Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines.) the band Boiled in Lead has been around over 20 years. Perhaps what is needed is an entry for Boiled in Lead with redirect from Adam Stemple entry, he thought out loud. The previous group Stemple was in was Cats Laughing, which also included notable fantasy/sf authors Steven Brust and Emma Bull. His current group is the Tim Malloys. All 3 groups have common musical roots of celtic and rock styles. -- WCFrancis 20:41, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
