Lack of a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)[edit]

The following passage is highly subjective - worse yet, there are no corroborating references whatsoever: "One possible reason for his continued success is that his drumming is very approachable, being mostly vamp and lick based. Moreover, budding jazz drummers find him as a very attractive influence because he has essentially taken exercises out of Ted Reed's Syncopation (a popular drum method book) and basic bop drum licks and turned them into music by articulating them fast and cleanly. This makes him very easy to transcribe." If it is not improved upon soon, I will remove the passage, as it is not verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.47.35 (talk) 00:53, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing. I just began to delete the above passage, but left it there to demonstrate the utter lack of NPOV in the article. It appears to be a fan-written article, with some sections possibly copied out of promotional websites. It is marked as POV issues and lack of references. Hopefully, whomever works upon the article will check WP:MOS, and if they have questions, they may contact me on my talk page; I'll be happy to help. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 05:04, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
