I second that. The subject of this article is notable, but the blatantly promotional tone, poor writing and poor formatting actually gives the opposite impression. Note also that the entire first paragraph of the biography section is pasted verbatim from http://www.vinilemania.net/vJAZZHAMILTON.htm and has been removed. See below.

Copyright problem removed

One or more portions of this article duplicated other source(s). The material was copied from: http://www.vinilemania.net/vJAZZHAMILTON.htm Infringing material has been rewritten or removed and must not be restored, unless it is duly released under a compatible license. (For more information, please see "using copyrighted works from others" if you are not the copyright holder of this material, or "donating copyrighted materials" if you are.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Note also that even if the copyright owner gives permission, the original text is overly promotional and unecyclopedic and may require extensive copy-editing.

Future editing

Future editors, especially those who are affiliated in any way with Jazz Hamilton, must adhere to the following guidelines when editing this article:

Before even starting to edit it again, please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for guidance.
Remember that you are writing for an international readership not simply your potential customers.
This is an encyclopedia article, not the web page for this artist or his blog. All additions must be neutrally worded and use encyclopedic tone and style. Any additions which can be perceived by a neutral reader as hype or PR will be removed. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms for guidance.
Do not paste in text from your or anyone else's official websites, blogs etc. Apart from the almost invariably unsuitable promotional style, it is a copyright violation unless the sites explicitly display a public domain license. Further guidance can be found on Wikipedia:Copyright violations and its associated pages.
Remember, that once you have written an article on Wikipedia, you and/or your organization no longer own it. It will always have to conform to Wikipedia's policies on content, style and formatting – not to your desired image or marketing goals. Further guidance can be found on Wikipedia:Ownership of articles. Voceditenore (talk) 12:08, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
