Talk:Stuart Davis (musician)

message: I don't have a solid understanding of what would qualify to add under Stuart's TV, Video, and Other Media, but perhaps a short film he recently starred in might. I also didn't want to post it because it was a film I directed and wrote. However, it was for a film festival in Boulder and the film won an award, placed in the top ten, and was screened at Boulder Theater. The film is titled, "Love's Invitation", in which Stuart plays the lead role. Currently it is listed on the festivals home page The Shoot Out 24 Hour Filmmaking Festival Boulder and the video can be seen here "Love's Invitation". Anyways, just wanted to through this in the discussion in case it was relevant. If not, no worries. --Ryanoelke (talk) 03:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Short Film Starring Stuart

message: I removed the reams of completely unsourced ecstatic promotional material here about the wonders and genius of Stuart Davis. This is not the place for that stuff, folks. Find sources, and the page can be expanded. Until then, leave it to sourced material.Tao2911 (talk) 16:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Restored selected factual information, sourced this time from legitimate news articles and actual credit rolls of linked programs. Any deletion of this now-referenced material will support the opinion (one I agree with) that someone has disdain for this artist which caused the trimming of it to well-below that presented for many other music & television artists.(Willbueche (talk) 21:07, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

text: I would have to agree; parts of this read more like an informal biography with some "original research" than an encyclopedia article.  For example, at one point it states (about the tracks on the Stuart Davis album Kid Mystic), "...instead of playing as simply a collection of songs, it is more a unitive work".  The wording of this sentence aside (which could use serious improvement, I think), it seems to be a mere opinion of whoever wrote it.  I'm not saying I disagree (I do agree, actually), but it should be removed unless there is a source (e.g., Davis himself, or a reviewer).  There are several other tidbits like this as well.  I believe the Folk Beginnings and Spiritual Directions sections (which may need to be renamed and put into one section) need to be pared down quite a bit, or else someone like Tao2911 will (justifiably) remove much of the content.

Agreed; I've merged them into Musical career which is what most artist pages call this section. I pared down some of the unsourced opinion in the initial paragraphs of the Musical career section too, but it still needs more references. 206.124.30.34 (talk) 20:45, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: it's not a true false claim. It appears to be true to me. You can only speak for yourself. Make a case to have the tag removed if that's what you want.Tao2911 (talk) 02:29, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

text: I am glad to see that the Wikipedia lords have removed the tag from the header of the page, without request to "prove a negative" being fulfilled. For the record, I'm not Stuart Davis either.206.124.30.34 (talk) 21:20, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
