[edit]Article is phrased like a fan item, not an encyclopedia article. Tone is subjective and emotional and veers into consideration of too many individuals not directly related to the main trajectory of Houston's career (i.e., the fact that a band in which he participated had many female members). "Thank you" section is inappropriate.

To the user making edits because "he was my grandpah":
[edit]Hi. Although you may well have a better knowledge of the birthdate, history and other information regarding your relative than the rest of us, it is still necessary to provide hard sources to back up your edits - one of which introduced a second different birthdate into the article, thus rendering it inaccurate in some form and also therefore improperly sourced. I have restored the article to the original single birthdate, and request that you post here in the talk page before you make any more unsupported changes to the article. Even if he was your relation. Should this be the case, I would also like to say I'm sorry for your recent loss. Hoping you will contribute here instead. 86.113.44.218 (talk) 21:23, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- Just commenting that no source was given for the original mention of a birthdate either. We do need to go with what reliable published sources say, but if they are in error we can point it out (for example in a footnote). Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
