Comment: The great swathe of recordings of radio shows is not relevant. None of this gives any credence to the notability of Gladstone. You need to remove it. At present you are dealing with frills and fancies instead of doing the real work which is to prove that he passes WP:GNG. All you are doing by continuing to upload this material is to create work for other people. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Comment: There is nothing here to suggest that they pass WP:NSINGER or even WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 08:10, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Musical Philosophy
editNeal's wide variety of musical styles and clever lyrics fostered a rabidly loyal fan base in Oregon. But he valued friendships and community far more than fame or money, and so resisted the temptation to "make it big" on the national scene. He preferred composition to performance, and he performed primarily in the US Pacific Northwest, reserving two concerts a year for his loyal Corvallis fan base.
