[edit] Deletion proposal

The deletion proposal is misguided and disruptive. This is one of the most widely renowned living players of the hammered dulcimer, with numerous albums and international tours to his credit. If the editor who placed that tag does not specify why s/he did so, it will be removed. Badagnani 02:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Based on the content of this article, this person is an absolute nobody. He has an amazing resume of work that could be expanded on in his article. But it has sat as "NN"" as it could possibly be for a very long time. A prod is just that... a prod to regular editors to arise from their lethargy and build an encyclopedia out of this "sows ear". 156.34.212.94 02:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Our own music notability guidelines specify that if an individual has at least two recordings on a major label, s/he is notable. Tag was disruptive and is going away now. Please contribute to WP in a constructive, not destructive manner, thanks. Badagnani 02:18, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry you did not positively to the valid prod. This article is still written poorly and the casual Wiki reader who gets this article as their random hit will be left with "what the F*** is this useless page" for an artist who deserves better. You seem to be a dedicated editor? I always wondered why your name was on the VP blacklist... perhaps I am seeing why. Perhaps another day this article will get some overdue improvement. Just not today. 156.34.211.7 02:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

The articles get better and better gradually, as interested and knowledgeable editors contribute. This is our process. It's a positive, rather than a negative one. You apparently know something about this musician and thus you could very well contribute in a positive manner. Badagnani 02:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
