thread_title: Light as a Feather

message: I think the Scientology reference needs to be stripped back, it's practically an advertisement for this religion/cult, one that is quite controversial and much maligned (not without due cause). Is this an item about a musician and his career? if so his religious leanings should not be given so much emphasis. Corea talks about ethics, what sort of code of ethics does "fair game" attempt to embrace:
Fair Game (Scientology) Hubbard detailed his rules for attacking critics in a number of policy letters, including one often quoted by critics as "the Fair Game policy." This allowed that those who had been declared enemies of the Church, called "suppressive persons" or simply "SP," "May be deprived of property or injured by any means... May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed." (taken from HCOPL 18 Oct 67 Issue IV, Penalties for Lower Conditions )

:Since your comment in August 2006, the Scientology/Inspiration section has become slightly more neutral. As it stands now, I don't think it's an advertisement for Scientology. It only details how Corea (in his own words) feels Scientology has inspired him. It's irrelevant to this article that you and I might think Scientology is a questionable religion/cult/moneymaking scheme with an alarming lack of scruples. Corea's advocacy of Scientology is notable, especially when Scientology is a big influence on his music. -kotra 22:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

*Discography at SonyBMG Masterworks
It (in most cases) contains a full listing of in-print CDs released on the SonyBMG labels within the US (for the moment), along with track listings and in some cases audio clips (which will become more robust in the new year). Ecommerce links are provided inobtrusively.
I have been informed that it creates a conflict of interest to post these links directly from my account, so please consider adding the page to the link section. Thanks.

message: In 1967 Chick Corea played on Cuban Roots, a cuban/jazz instrumental experiment put together by Mark Weinstein. Due to a personal dispute the record company sunk the album and only 500 copies were made. A few years ago a Japanese company bought the master tapes and reissued the album on CD. Its a great album and has enjoyed a successful second life. The album focuses on horns and drums, but Corea's piano playing on the album is phenomenal. I think the album is worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.194.122 (talk) 22:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I tagged this for a Reliable Source; also 1972 seems far too early - in 1976, Al DiMeola and Lenny White both said Moran was Corea's "girlfriend", not wife.

message: I propose that Chick Corea Elektric Band be merged into Chick Corea. The former has been unsourced since 2009, and that's plenty of time to realize it isn't going anywhere. It's unnecessary to have separate articles for all the bands a jazz musician forms or belongs to.–Vmavanti (talk) 23:35, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

text: EddieHugh Are you? I thought we were building an encyclopedia, not deleting one. TanookiKoopa (talk) 21:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Merging isn't deleting. I'm asking because, if no one adds sources, I'm going to clean the article up, which will probably mean removing everything except a sentence or two that I can quickly find a source for (with my usual WP:BURDEN edit summary for such circumstances). It's been in this unencyclopedic state for over a decade! EddieHugh (talk) 22:00, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: EddieHugh I added an "under construction" tag. I'll add the sources. I'm impressed by the fact that you'd rather clean the article up than add sources yourself :) TanookiKoopa (talk) 23:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

text: EddieHugh If sources are now piling up that are easy to find, then why don't you add them yourself instead of pouncing on the article with a cudgel because no one else has done it within an arbitrary time limit? Seems to run against the spirit of our objective here, if you ask me. RandomGnome (talk) 23:51, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

text: EddieHugh I agree that it is far too long, and I thank you very much for your contributions to the jazz project. Jazz often doesn't get the respect it deserves. Case in point - there's now the bizarre situation of having to fight to get Chick Corea mentioned on WP:ITNRD (front page, recent deaths), his nomination likely to fail because the article doesn't meet some tightly interpreted, bureaucratic threshold. I don't want to belabor our disagreement over who should add sources, other than to refer you to my previous comment. Again, thank you for your work here. RandomGnome (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

text: EddieHugh I just added citations. Is this to your satisfaction for removing the tag? TanookiKoopa (talk) 22:13, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It was a useful start. Almost none of the commentary in the article was in the sources that you added, though, so I cut most of it and added sources/a small amount of detail from AllMusic. I've removed the sourcing tag but left the under construction one in case you're planning more – please remove it if you're not. EddieHugh (talk) 19:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: EddieHugh Thank you. I removed the tag. Hope you can also find the time to add to the page too. TanookiKoopa (talk) 16:52, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

message: The text on his early professional career isn't perhaps as complete as it might be. In early 1962 it was reported that Chick was performing with the George Bright Quintet.

replies: text: Thanks User:Lester Mobley. I've created a clipping for the report on newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/clip/70452357/chick-corea-feb-11th-1962/ which should be accessible by those who do not have an account. That should suffice for as a reputable source. Why should it be included? It's clear from a number of other references, and reports on newspapers.com that Chick spent time before he is generally perceived to doing professional work, working the circuit. Chick himself has said he worked along side his Dad for a while, but then jumps over what happened next. As I wrote in my retrospective of Chick's early years, this period is always overlooked, as it is here, it's just assumed/implied that he got his professional start recording with Mongo Santamaria after moving on from gigging with his dad.--Cathcam (talk) 01:17, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the source, . What it supports is that Corea played with Bright in 1962, but I don't see the point of adding such a sentence if we don't have any other context for it, and we don't have a page on Bright. The phrasing "began his professional career" does not quite represent the AMG biography; maybe that can be adjusted to avoid suggesting that these were his first professional jobs, rather than "formative experiences" as AMG has it.
