Bard Of Ely Hi there I just noticed that the page for Bard Of Ely was removed from Wikipedia I feel that there should have been some sort of tag attached to the page before removal I also am mystified by the reference of the dismissal of the the page due to your comment promotion written by a friend I have found that indeed Bard Of Ely is a noteable artist and should have remained in the Wikipedia listings For instance did you know Bard Of Ely has an EP out on a proper label Crai Records and he worked with musicians such as Crum ex Hawkwind Phil Moxham Young Marble Giants Robin Williamson Incredible String Band and Gruff Rhys Super Furry Animals and having compered and played at Glastonbury Festival and the Green Man Festival as well as having been rave reviewed in the NME I suppose it s up to the wandering editors to make these decisions But how do you determine a friend wrote the info on Bards page For instance I do not know Bard Of Ely personally and could be considered a professional associate of Bard Does this mean I can write a page about Bard Of Ely and it won t be removed Please clarify the standards by which you elected to remove Bards page other than it may have been written by a friend ie For instance the content was not verified and credible Also please indicate what makes an article not to the standard of Wikipedia when in fact the references made in the article are internal links that have a direct relavence to the encyclopedia itself I m not trying to cause a stir here but I find it strange that Bards page was ripped down when in fact I have found a few other artists pages that have been left up and do not contain the same concrete documentation as Bard Of Ely s did If you would like me to point those out to you all you have to do is ask Take care and please understand that I am trying to understand some of the standards you work under for deciding to remove pages of Wikipedia noteable musical artists Thank you be well and please accept my questions with all seriousness Cheers
