This article was created in 2017 by someone who knew the rules and chose not to follow them. First, EddieHugh and I had by then discussed following the rest of Wikipedia by having a citation at the end of every sentence. Second, one source is not enough. That's something everyone learns in school. Third, another red link has been created without any thought being given to whether that subject is notable—whether enough sources even exist to create an article of substance, thus creating another infinite, impossible red link. Fourth, though this isn't a rule, it's irresponsible for someone with ten years experience to create another stub for a backlog that already contains nearly 4000 articles, many of them stubs he has created. These subjects have been discussed often with the creator, whose response mainly has been to avoid talk and avoid learning from his mistakes. I will be probably be accused of being mean and uncivil for mentioning these facts, but they are the facts, and they are obstacles to improving the encyclopedia. It's not personal, though it's often taken that way. It's simply a matter of following rules and consistency that EddieHugh and I have discussed as the two main editors in Wikiproject Jazz. Cooperation is welcome and encouraged. Vmavanti (talk) 11:56, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
