 Bowie The Secret Life of Arabia 

Hello Ian,

You were quite right to correct my edit. Buckley's comment shouldn't be excised on its own; all of them should go - it doesn't matter who any of these writers are, their aesthetic judgement comments are all just POV opinions (of no greater weight than yours, mine or anyone elses, though Buckley's is particularly ridiculous, let alone in a Wikipedia context) and therefore not encyclopedic in nature and therefore not Wikipedia compliant. 

Even worse is the completely uncited statement above ""Like Bowie's 1971 song ""Life on Mars?"", it evoked a world where film and reality become merged and confused"". Says who?? And indeed who cares, Wikipedia is not the place for editors' subjective comments. That is potentially endless.

Wikipedia makes it abundantly clear that it is not a opinion forum, or a vehicle for people's differing aesthetic opinions; it is an encyclopedia.

The only quotes that would be acceptable (and of any interest) in this regard would be one's directly attributable to Bowie, Visconti, Eno etc i.e. the creators themselves. It would be extremely productive to seek any out. What the article needs is facts - for example, details of where recorded and on what dates, who the personel were etc etc, all properly cited.

Either way, all of these comments must go and be replaced by encylopedic content. This is simply just what Wikipedia insists on, rightly as an encyclopedia.
