Dent May is a total babe. There is one potential problem that will still need to be addressed. MySpace can't be used as an official source, as per WP:RS. Citation bot will delete this once the page is crawled. The author might want to separate reliable sources from MySpace information to avoid another notability tag. Let me know if I can help. --Digital Mischief 00:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wondered about that. I relied on MySpace only for two basic facts: May's location (Taylor, Mississippi) and the number of persons in the band (four). I suppose those facts could simply be deleted. The Jackson Free Press article covers Mississippi; "Taylor" could be dropped. I suppose, too, the number of persons in the band need not be mentioned. Let me know if you think those two pieces of information should be omitted, to get rid of the MySpace reference. If you do, I'll get rid of them. (A dentmay.com website is under construction and will probably eventually provide the same information.)JohnBonaccorsi (talk) 03:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Postscript: In other words, to get rid of the MySpace reference, all we have to cut out are the words "Taylor" and "four-man." Those words are simple and helpful and do not represent, say, self-evaluation, of the sort that a MySpace page could easily offer; but maybe that will make no difference to a bot.JohnBonaccorsi (talk) 03:12, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My recommendation would be to just remove the Myspace refs altogether, as a bot will clean them out anyway. As a stub, I think this will satisfy most editors. You might still get a notability challenge, but this gives you some time to look for additional sources. See if you can live with the page Dent May as it exists now.--OliverTwisted (talk) 18:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks good. Thanks.JohnBonaccorsi (talk) 19:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
