Content pruned from Tower of Power article[edit]
 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. A reviewer felt that this edit would not improve the article. |
I worked on the Matthews topic a few years ago, he insisted on tipping me, so I guess I have permanent COI. This some content that was pruned from the ToP artcle. I'd like to merge it in. I believe Matthews toured with the band last summer, I'll see if I can find an RS ref. I found a reference, there are also some playbills naming him if needed. 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 10:13, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- Content presented would be more relevant for the Tower of Power article. Such a merger isn't necessary, except perhaps a brief mention of the involvement with the band (which should be there already?). As a reformatting isn't likely to happen due to the user's ban, this might remain closed for a long while. Regards, VB00 (talk) 15:57, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
