Stub

I do not know exactly when an article is a stub and when not, but I've left this one a stub, as I haven't found out certain dates and do not know whether the dicography has been completed. my wikipedia page (Dutch) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rens van Leeuwen (talk • contribs) 15:55, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removed press release

I've removed the biography because it was taken in its entirety from a press release (see eg https://web.archive.org/web/20220105101544/https://hip-bonemusic.com/pages/michael-davis-biography-and-press-kit ). This fails as a reference on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Using_the_subject_as_a_self-published_source criterion 5 ("the article is not based primarily on such sources"); in addition, the text didn't refer to the press pack, nor were any other claims therein otherwise referenced. Since that removes most of the article, I've restored the stub tag. - Tom Yates (talk) 12:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
