Merge with Earth, Wind & Fire?

Savidan has suggested that this new article on Ronnie Laws should be merged into the EW&F article.

No merge - Although this article needs significant cleanup and a move (the title isn't properly capitalized), Ronnie Laws appears to be a notable artist in his own right, and he was only in EW&F for about a year. A merge doesn't make sense to me. Engineer Bob 07:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge tag removed after quick discussion between myself and Savidan. Engineer Bob 07:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing the copyvio

Turns out that the existing text in this article was copied by the original author from another website, and another sharp-eyed editor (quite appropriately) flagged it for a speedy delete. Because Laws does appear to be a notable artist, I've restarted the article as a stub. Engineer Bob 07:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
