Initial WikiProject Review

I agree with the current Start-class rating. Here are some things you can do wo work towards a B-Class article:

Add {{Infobox Musical artist}}
Use {{Infobox Discography}}
Increase citations and references - suggested sites include www.allmusic.com and/or www.imdb.com.
Rewrite lead for NPOV

You may wish to review the Christian music Wikiproject's suggested structure page for other tips. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 14:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that the "lead" seems to be really the entire article aside from the list of awards and nominations and the discography. You should go more in depth on him than you have at this point. See Derek Webb or more simply Justin McRoberts for examples of what I mean. WP:LEAD explains how a lead is supposed to introduce the article, by briefly mentioning topics which you will go further in depth on later in the article. I hope that helps some. -- PEPSI2786^talk 14:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The time has probably also come to put the discography onto a separate discography page. Petersent (talk) 21:49, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lists of awards and albums are fairly thorough and complete, but there is very little biographical information. PurpleRain 21:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
