The Lee Nysted Experience

To the administrators:

In receipt of e-mail on this issue:

I did not create the Lee Nysted Experience, or Nysted Music, although both articles should be allowed, or in the alternative, my name, and the Nysted Music articles should re-directed to The Lee Nysted Experience. (A legitimate and verified inclusion into the encyclopedia.)

I have asked the author of the re-direct of the Lee Nysted Experience (from Clear Channel) to simply list verifications of all claims, which he did, very kindly. He is the "dewart." He is no way related to me; does not work for NystedMusic. In fact, he works for one of the world's largest digital radio stations and media companies. I am grateful that he has come to my defense.

I have no self published anything here, save for this defense of my good name. (i.e., still frozen in time.)

He is quite aware of this whole issue and he cited AMG, my web site, THE ORCHARD (Label), and will give several other articles in support of the above. Anyone interested in the actual Wikipedia guidelines and criteria for inclusion of musicians and ensembles will see that all the necessary items for verification are here. Please help to make this encyclopedia what it is designed to be.

The vandals from MySpace that have tried to destroy any effort to get an article about me published, will ultimately lose due to obvious Wikipedia criteria, which have been met. ("any one of...")

Any one of the following can be used for "The Lee Nysted Experience"

1.) AMG (World's largest source of music info.)

2.) THE ORCHARD.com Largest digital label in the world signed Lee Nysted...see link.

3.) 99% of all digital sites now carry Nysted Music, including parts of his second album with noted artist Todd Sucherman, drummer for STYX with Wikipedia page.

4.) Retail outlets like BestBuy, and Starbucks are listed as having signed Lee Nysted (See THE ORCHARD.)

5.) Matt Walker, (the drummer) verified musician in Lee Nysted band / ensemble. Same for Todd Sucherman, the drummer.(See Wikipedia.)

6.) Lee Nysted web site verifies all digital sites as does Orchard.

7.) Artistopia verifies the above

8.) Google: Lee Nysted and you will find 15,000 sites that will verify the above.

9.) Several of Lee's songs are played right now on the largest radio stations in the world. (See Orchard)

Criteria for inclusion have been met many times over. ("any one of...")

Truly yours,

Lee Nysted

Please note: I did not write the articles. I did not hire anyone to write the articles. I have no pending litigation with Wikipedia, nor do I intend on same. I pray for the vandals that have started this mess. Thank you, Lee Nysted 1-19-07 8:55 a.m. Chicago time.

Thank you for your time, Lee Nysted NystedMusic

Self-published Myspace artist, who has attempted to post about himself in several guises, namely: Lee Nysted (deleted and salt), Nysted Music (now subject of AfD), and now The Lee Nysted Experience. Ohconfucius 08:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as still no assertion of notability, failing WP:MUSIC. The Rambling Man 11:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Artist has recorded with other famous musicians, has an album available on Amazon. Recognize the controversy surrounding the delete and salt of Lee Nysted, but this delete apparently was because of vandalism. I'll give this article a chance. —Brim 13:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment A single album on Amazon rated by six people, some of whom know the artist, none of whom have rated any other albums ought not count as satisfying WP:MUSIC. But okay, the band apparently had two session artists from notable bands in an album released on Nysted's own label, so it might squeeze in. The AMG doesn't credit one of these musicians, Todd Sucherman, on the album, by the way. The Rambling Man 14:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MUSIC. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Attn. Administrators:

I authored the original article "The Lee Nysted Experience"

I am no relation to Mr. Nysted and I do not work for him. I am not getting paid to do an article about him.

"Clear channel" intervened on Lee's behalf because, for whatever reason, someone is not following the guidelines and rules of Wikipedia, and they continue in their attempts to delete a legitimate musician, singer, songwriter, band, ensemble, etc.

I have no problem with the changes that Stephen Dewart did to this article. He seems reasonable.

The verification is, in fact, accurate as are the sources. (Add THE ORCHARD as a Wikipedia source.)

Repeat: Please note that THE ORCHARD, Lee's label, has a page here, in Wikipedia. (Use that as a verified reference, please.)

My sincere hope is this:

Wikipedia cannot be manipulated by some "popularity contest" stemming from an avalanche of votes against inclusion. Can anyone vote? Help ! Administrators, and people in charge???

Thank you,
