The page on Dick Latvala should not be deleted. He was an important scholar and archivist of Grateful Dead and related music. He started the extremely popular CD series "Dicks Picks" which continues to release new albums 2-4 times per year.

what country does he originate from?

Latvala is a Finnish surname. J.S.Salonen 23:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really necessary to post his purported Anti-Semitic quote in its entirety?

Does the article on Adolf Hitler have every quote he ever said? If not, I question why Dick Latvala, a peace-loving Grateful Dead archivist who was probably friend to many Jewish people, has to suffer this indignity.

It's not the most important thing he ever said. It may be offensive, but that does not make it IMPORTANT. It's not. Unless someone responds, I will again delete the passage from Dick's internet chat, replacing it with on I find more historically representative.

Wikipedia is uncensored. The quote was rather noteworthy, as of the first 20 hits on Google Groups, 7 are in reference to the dead.net post. Most of the other first hits are in reference to his death. The recently deceased Bobby Fischer also has a Wiki section of anti-Jewish remarks. Nice invoking Godwin's Law in your first comment. 68.45.106.216 (talk) 04:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
