Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as being about a musical recording that does not indicate its own importance and where the artist's article does not exist, because... the song was recorded by two significant artists in the Jewish community that have had existing Wikipedia pages for several years. This is not insignificant material.

Contesting speedy deletion

Shlock Rock "revised and popularised" the song, and have an article, so this doesn't meet A9 where "none of the contributing recording artists has an article". --McGeddon (talk) 19:28, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Minyan Man was composed in 1982, documented by this published article and on the original recording's voice notes (YouTube)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed: Add in 1982 to the first sentence: "Minyan Man" is a song composed in 1982 by Victor Shine
Why it should be changed: To reflect accuracy. (Conflict disclosure - I am the author)
