Talk:Lionel Bastos

message: I stand by my edits, and restore them, along with the MySpace link in the 'External links' section. It's widely used and accepted. I do agree with you about the 'Orphan' tag. It was an inadvertent mistake. (I have to start using my glasses.)
*You changed my wording to this:
In May 2010, Bastos and radio host Doug Anderson, besides a number of South African artists, gave a concert to benefit victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, at the Baxter Concert Hall in Cape Town.[4]
*My wording was this:
In May 2010, South African's prominent musicians, spearheaded by Bastos, along side radio host Doug Anderson, gave a joint concert for the Caribbean nation, Haiti, devastated by the earthquake that killed 230.000 people in January 2010. This fund-raising event was held at the Baxter Concert Hall in Cape Town. 
Please compare.
1 - Radio host Doug Anderson did not give concert. All others did. He, and Bastos were the initiators. Your edit gives the impression of, that Doug Anderson played too, which he did not. On the news article, it's being clearly indicated who did what. If you look closely, there are 16 names on the poster. All musicians. Do you see Doug Anderson's name on the poster? Of course not.
He is a radio host, a presenter. He initiated the event along with Bastos.
Actually, I liked better the last part of your wording. So I mixed yours and mine:
In May 2010, some of the South African's prominent musicians, spearheaded by Bastos, along side radio host Doug Anderson, gave a joint concert to benefit the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, at the Baxter Concert Hall in Cape Town.
2 - Prominent→ In the article it says:
"Spearheaded by radio presenter Doug Anderson, musician Lionel Bastos, and Madelaine Steyn, the M.A.D. 4 Haiti concert will feature a selection of the country’s premier artists..."
I used prominent instead of premier. It is not the word of Bastos', it's the word of the journalist who wrote that very article. The source says premier, I say prominent. So, it's perfectly legitimate to use it.
3 - In terms of rewrite; it's a matter of opinion, (taste.)
*Said about (New section)
You said in your edit summary "Non-notable quote."
With all respect, I differ. Non-notable to whom?
If subjects won SAMA award for his album, (I finally encountered a source today, confirms that,) then, this review is in the line with him winning SAMA's Best Adult Contemporary Album award, which is notable.  
It's, again, perfectly legitimate to use it. One of the subject's albums was reviewed, and the reviewer used these praising words. With this in mind, the subject's entitled to have it in his article. You can find this practice in many, if not all other articles, whose subjects are musicians or artists.
*I agree with you, that you removed this text:
Bastos had produced and written for top South African artists, among others, Yvonne Chaka-Chaka, Vicky Sampson, Little Sister, Wendy Oldfield, and Ed Jordan. He has co-produced and co-written the songs on the official South African Football Association 1998 FIFA World Cup CD.
I'll look for a source which might confirm, that he had indeed produced and written for top South African artists.
* - Four-years-old 'BLP sources' tag's not needed anymore. Yesterday, I did a good job finding sources and improving the article.
* - You wrote in your edit summary:
"...where are his birthplace and date verified?"
I'm puzzled. I was not aware of, that the birthdate and place verification of the subject, (or any other subject,) was obligatory.
Wasn't that so, that the death of the subject should be verified?
Here is the website I found, mentions his birthplace.
* - Finally and most importantly.
Subject's name is not Leonel Bastos, rather Lionel Bastos. The editor who created this very article chose a wrong name. Although 'Leonel' is the same thing in Portuguese, he never uses that, as far as I'm concern. Please see for yourself. Lionel Bastos I think the name should be changed. Thanks and cheers.
