[edit] Howard Scott (musician)

Howard Scott (musician) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

How many tags does this have? I had to AfD it; maybe BJAODN can use this better. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 16:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Unfolding developments: The creator of the article is User:Wardrums (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), whose name potentially derives from one of the bands Howard Scott was in. Also found to be a duplicate of Howard E. Scott. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 16:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Howard E. Scott. Notice that in the edit history, those tags were all added at once. The article was a mess at the time the tags were added (it seemed to be nothing but a collection of quotes), and was cleaned up shortly after. However, Howard E. Scott has the exact same information but written much better. And for some reason, the same user created both articles. Articles do appear to be a conflict of interest (User:Wardrums), but he is a notable musician nonetheless. And hell, if I was in a huge band from the 60s and 70s and no one had written an article about me yet, I'd probably write it myself too. Wavy G 21:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Redirect per Wavy G, plenty of notability. I added a ref and some cats to the E. article. -- Xtifr tälk 00:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
