Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Eddie Heywood/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The article is incomplete. While referencing his "serious" jazz background, for example, it gives no impression that he recorded stuff like this [[1]].

If you find him by researching jazz, the article seems reasonable though short and shallow. If you find him by researching MOR/exotica, the article seems curious, irrelevant, and/or inaccurate.

www.oldies.com has a (copyrighted, licensed) short bio that does a better job of describing his career in outline. Obviously wikipedia can't steal it, but it covers his whole career in a fairly realistic manner that it would do this article good to try to top.

This is template {{subst:Requested move/end}}

Eddie Heywood Jr. → Eddie Heywood – This entry was created on July 1, 2006 under main title header "Eddie Heywood" and remained under that header for twelve-and-a-half years, until December 24, 2018 when, upon creation of the entry for his father, Eddie Heywood Sr., it was moved to Eddie Heywood Jr. There was no need for such a move — although in the same manner as Jason Robards Jr., Eddie Heywood Jr. started by using "Jr." as part of his professional name he, like Robards, dropped the "Jr." and was known as simply Eddie Heywood. Eddie Heywood continues to redirect to Eddie Heywood Jr., but the same type of hatnote as at Jason Robards — For his father, see Jason Robards Sr. — will suffice for Eddie Heywood who, like Robards, became much better known than his father. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

WP:POSTMOVE note: The existing hatnote still seems to work fine, but defer to Roman Spinner or any other editor to update as they see fit. -2pou (talk) 16:58, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
