[edit] Ben Wright (musician)

I'm not sure myself if this page needs to be *deleted*, but as it was created by an anonymous user and is so vague, it's hard to see how to possibly improve it. It's been marked for verification, but so far one user has mentioned attending his concert (with no indication even as to his nationality, really). They mention that the alleged "composer" has not yet published any songs (why I took the liberty of removoing the composer stub and, when moving the page to disambiguate, listed him as a musician). The move from Ben Wright and creation of a disambig page out of the latter was because there are at least two other, arguably more notable Ben Wrights: One who was a well known British actor in US films, radio, and Disney animated features, and another whose background is more vague but was clearly a major participant in US conflict with the Modoc Indian tribes. The most info I've found on a Ben Wright related to music is references as having attended 2002 and 2003 music fests, with not much detail, and a seemingly recent webpage, http://www.benwrightmusic.com , which may not even belong to the same Ben Wright (and certainly doesn't mention any of the "compositions" listed in the page)!

• Delete. No indication that he meets Wikimusic Project guidelines. The article claims that he wrote the song "The Great Pretender". The well known version as performed by The Platters is credited to Buck Ram, the group's manager. There is no evidence that Wright had any involvement at all.
