replies: text: Hate to break it you, but you removed some valid names. Lynn Seaton is about fifty years old, worked with Count Basie, and is in Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics/29. Some of these lists have red-links to expand things, in fact this is one of the few jazz lists that doesn't. I thought maybe that meant you guys and gals just did a great job covering the topic, but perhaps not.--T. Anthony 08:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was I who removed him, not Bottesini.  As you can see from my edit summary, I am well aware that removing all redlinked names is not a perfect solution, as there are a number of notable jazz bassists with no article as of yet.  But it is a highly convenient and objective way to prune the list, eliminating a lot of self-promotion and linkspam.  It would only take a couple minutes to write a stub for Lynn Seaton; that would set him apart from the non-notables I eliminated.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 09:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Judging by your edit history, yes you have!  My hat's off to you for your hard work.  And sorry about to have deleted noted musicians like Seaton--I was just tired of people adding themselves to their list even though they had no article, just some external link to their lame website....--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 09:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It is redudant to have the year of birth.  It should be on their article.  Unless there is a valid reason to have it, I am removing them.  Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 16:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be in their article, yes, but it makes sense to have dates here too. Otherwise we just have a list of names, which offers nothing more than a category would. Ideally there should be a very brief summary for each entry too. --Deskford (talk) 17:11, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
