Talk:Stan Ridgway

message: I have mixed feelings about this.  On the one hand, he obviously wants to be known by his stage name, and his privacy should be respected.  On the other hand, stating that his "birth name" is "Stanard Q. Ridgway" is simply providing misinformation.  His real name is well-known in the music industry.  Here are a couple of pages demonstrating this:
* http://www.bandtoband.com/index.php?Page=Search&AliasId=4025
* http://rock.discogs.com/artist/Stan+Ridgway?anv=Stanard+Ridgway
His birth name is also listed in the published credits for the authorship of the song "Mexican Radio."  Here are a couple of examples of citations:
* http://www2.secondhandsongs.com/song/25713
* http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134630/soundtrack
Therefore, I've simply deleted the "birth name" item from the infobox.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article is styled a biography, but it contains precious little actual biographical information, essentially tapped out at its subject's birthdate and place.  From this talk page, even his birth name got deleted.  There's nothing about his parents, siblings (if any) upbringing, or education.  In short, it's pretty much a resumė (see WP:promo).  I'm sure Wikipedia can do better than that. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:39, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
