Richard McKay
Could someone from this WikIProject take a look at Richard McKay? Article was created directly in the mainspace by new account with their first edit, and it has already been tagged with {{Notablity}} and {{UPE}}. I'm not sure whether the subject meets WP:NMUSICIAN; so, it would probably be a good idea for someone more experienced in articles about conductors take a look at this to see whether the subject is at least Wikipedia notable. If they are, then perhaps any promotional text can be cleaned up. The article also needs categories. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:03, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree that the article isn't adequately sourced - the Dallas Morning News and Dallas News would seem to qualify in that regard. If anything, it's OVER sourced in places. The tone's not as NPOV as one would hope, but it seems a perfectly cromulent topic for an article.. PianoDan (talk) 14:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Update: the article was draftified as Draft:Richard McKay by MER-C for being "covert advertising". MER-C also subsequently indefinitely blocked its creator for similar reasons. Others might disagree, perhaps, but it did kind of had the feel of something that was created by someone with a strong COI and maybe even for undisclosed payments. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly and PianoDan: I've taken an axe to the "reception" section since it was filled with vague puffery, though as my edit summary says, anyone can feel to re-write and restore it with proper encyclopedic tone. On balance, the article subject is probably notable by Wikipedia's standards. Most major US city symphony conductors seem to receive decent secondary coverage; a cursory Google search turns up sources like this. Left guide (talk) 09:58, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
