[edit] Puff piece

This article was created by a publicist as a puffery for self-promotion. It contained no references and grossly over-inflated the importance of this person. The article still lacks basic details and I have added a link to another web article where this person is mentioned in context - although some information linking him on other new sites to other accomplishments is also incorrect. However, this article should be cut down even further due to the fact that the subject was either an employee of a firm and performing a job, or self-employed and now trying to promote his business on Wikipedia. By listing movies and other productions for which he can show no published and accredited credit other than for performing a regular job in a regular way, this article needs pruning further and watching closely in case it again begins to grow like a weed. All of this raises a question: Aside from being the person who introduced Elton John to someone else during the normal course of his employment, why is this person even listed on Wikipedia in the first place? (By the way, I removed text that was on this page that looks as if it was placed here by mistake by the same person who eventually placed the same text on the article page!)

This entry should be listed as Ray Williams (A&R) and not Ray Williams (producer).

The above is true. Why does Wikipedia allow people to advertise themselves? This should be taken off.
