[edit] Timmy Thomas

Delete per WP:NOR - the subject should make it in per WP:NMG, so rewrite if necessary. PJM 20:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• This is not original research; it's a copyvio from [1]. As the article correctly states, the subject had a #3 pop hit on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 with "Why Can't We Live Together", thus qualifying him for an article under WP:MUSIC. A rewrite would be desirable in accordance with the copyvio procedure. --Metropolitan90 02:26, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the style in which it was written does violate WP:NOR - a "novel narrative or historical interpretation". But no doubt a copyvio, as you've pointed out. PJM 12:25, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• Rewrite Notable artist, but must remove copyvio. mdd4696 04:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
