Barry Cope

Removed "Barry Cope" from the main article as the source links doesn't work.

Any idea if he was born as Barry Cope? 24.191.99.78 00:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC)24.191.99.78

Elvis Duran was born "Elvis Bartholomew Duran" on August 5, 1964. After his parents divorced, they changed his last name to "Cope", his adopted father's last name. Upon graduating high school in 1983, he changed his name back to the original.

I went to college with Elvis and have kept up with his career over the years. We have several mutual friends he still communicates with. I added this info to the "discussion" page because I have no documentation to back it up. Feel free to contact him for confirmation. Elvis was NOT born as Barry Cope as you keep insisting.

Prod tag

I removed the prod tag as subject is award-winning morning host at high-rated station in US market #1 and article establishes these clear signs of notability. I agree it could use better sourcing but that's cause for a {{ref-improve}} tag, not speedy deletion. - Dravecky (talk) 09:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

High ratings and market size make the station notable, not the people working there. However, awards would certainly make this person notable but I dont see any in the article. Can you add them (with proper sources of course)? Also, that was a prod tag, not a speedy deletion request. The only way it the article would be deleted is if the prod tag stayed for more than a week.--Rtphokie (talk) 11:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
The article says "Elvis Duran received the Personality of the Year award in 2001 on the Radio Music Awards broadcast on ABC" but, yes, that needs proper sourcing. - Dravecky (talk) 02:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
