I'm not connected with Charles' agent in any way. I am just a fan; I do run his fan club, which can be found here, but I have deliberately not included a link to it on the page to avoid any compromise of interest. I created this page because I feel that Charles has done at least as much to merit inclusion as other artists in the same genre who are included here, such as Michael Chance, whom I also much admire.

From the article, he certainly has but Wikipedia policy requires independent verifiable sources. I tagged the page because it derives from conflict of interest sources. Much better to base it on independent material that has appeared in the national/specialist music press. --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 09:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah... I see the problem.

I will see what I can find. The difficulty is that Charles doesn't generally get asked to do interviews and so on, because although he does have a remarkable voice, I don't think he is considered very impressive as a person on the music scene. He doesn't have what might be called a commercial image. It's one of the things I really like about him, but sadly it doesn't get him interviews. Personally I think his agent ought to try the "green celebrity" angle and publish a few shots of him on his beloved bike, but I suspect they don't feel that goes with baroque...

I promise to work on it, though. Can the article stand in the meantime?

It's only tagged for clean up etc, not deletion though I'd be quick about adding citations to independent sources if I were you. --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 10:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
