New article is long enough and has many sources, with inline citations in every paragraph. The hook facts are interesting enough. No apparent POV or copy vio violations. QPQ completed. Good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:23, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Muboshgu and GDuwen, where is it mentioned and cited in the article that Clifford was a drummer? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:21, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

@Eddie891:, isn't that a WP:SKYISBLUE? It's easily verified by looking at Clifford's page, and not contentious info at all. He is cited inline as a CCR musician. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:11, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Muboshgu I struggle to see how anyone could consider the drummer of CCR to be as well known as the sky being blue. If it's worth mentioning in the hook, it should be mentioned in the article as well. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:13, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

, GDuwen, please add to the article that he was the drummer, or else we can change the word "drummer" to "musician" in the hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:42, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

@Eddie891: Clifford is mentioned as drummer twice in the article "Clifford produced the album and joined the band on drums", and in the personnel section. The citation (offline) reads: "Cook had played bass on Doug Sahm's 1974 album Groover's Paradise, along his Creedence rhythm buddy Doug Clifford, who produced and played". If he is listed as the drummer and producer, and the bassist of Creedence happens to play bass on the album (he is also linked), I have to agree with Muboshgu that it is pretty self-explanatory.

The article introduces them earlier: "He signed a contract with DSR Productions, owned by former Credence Clearwater Revival members Doug Clifford and Stu Cook" I just pretty much added the clarifications next to it (and yes, the inline citation also mentions the fact that they were a part of Creedence in those functions). Though I still don't see them as necessary.--GDuwenHoller! 19:25, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

That seems better to me now. Lots of people do something for one group but not for another. While it may be self explanatory to you, it wasn't to me. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 21:40, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Restoring the check mark. It now says he's a drummer in the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
