First impressions of article

I saw this article while patrolling edits from new users. On the surface, it looks like Millner is a notable musician, or at least there's a strong assertion for it. The article needs cleaned up and technical improvements; it also needs better sourcing to independent reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 01:58, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed http://www.robinsonimagery.com/2011/03/10/jamal-millner-for-c-ville-weekly/ from the external links section, because it's just a set of photos taken of Millner. I note that the title of that image gallery is "Jamal Millner for C-VILLE Weekly". Does this mean that the C-VILLE Weekly, wherever that publication is based, did an article on Millner? —C.Fred (talk) 02:03, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also removed: http://www.southwestblues.com/reviews/1999/cd-07-99charris.htm. The only relevant text was "Jamal Millner provides added texture and color playing rhythm and lead guitars, mandolin, acoustic guitar and backing vocals. His playing ranges from subtle to all out rockin' blues. The cast of musicians adding flavor to the various styles is numerous." —C.Fred (talk) 02:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've also removed http://dmbstream.com/Concerts/Detail/2001/08/01/hersheypark-stadium. This is the most useful of the three links I removed. First, DMB permits taping of their concerts, so we're not facilitating an infringement by linking there. Second, although it might not formally be a reliable source, I'll trust the editors of the site to know their musicians. Finally, it credits Millner as sitting in on two songs with DMB. It's not mentioned in the text of the article currently, and it's not the best source per WP:RS, but it's usable. —C.Fred (talk) 02:29, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Came across this, 12 years on from the above. Had considered tagging with notability concern, but have not on the grounds of C.Fred's opinion. Tacyarg (talk) 16:35, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
