Talk:Chad Taylor (drummer)

Initial comments
I have created this article for jazz drummer Chad Taylor. Through his work he has established himself as a major jazz artist of his generation. i used sources from major newspapers and music journals to support his notability Mistephake (talk) 20:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Since the article was declined I have added what i hope is the necessary citation to meet wiki's WP:NMUSIC requirements. See moderndrummer. it is a feature article on Taylor. I also added a cite from the village voice that focuses on Taylor's work as a leader. I hope these and any other improvements i've made help support the article to qualify for approval in my resubmission. Mistephake (talk) 16:14, 19 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm planning on accepting the article based on the Modern Drummer piece and the Chicago Reader article. If someone else decides that Chad Taylor does not meet the requirements of WP:BIO they will take it to WP:AFD where other editors will come to a WP:CONSENSUS on whether Chad Taylor deserves a stand-alone article. It's possible this content should simply be merged into Chicago Underground (jazz ensemble), but I think there's barely enough here to warrant a separate page.


 * That being said, I'd like to get rid of any content in the article that is currently unsourced. I'm going through and adding citations needed tags anywhere I can't tell where the information came from. You'll need to either find a source that actually makes the claims in the Wikipedia page or remove the sentences entirely. TipsyElephant (talk) 20:18, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

I've worked on reducing the un cited refs and reformatted any of the correlating subjects. for ex most of his early life is covered in one article. Mistephake (talk) 15:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)


 * thank you. I'll take another look at it when I've got a little time. I would like to do a bit more cleanup before accepting the draft and I may end up removing sources and content that I believe to be unreliable or unnecessary. Sorry in advanced for all the trimming, I know it can feel like I'm just tearing down the work you've done. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

now that you've made your edits is the article approved? Mistephake (talk) 14:45, 26 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I wanted to do a little more before accepting the article. Give me a couple more days and then I'll accept it. TipsyElephant (talk) 23:18, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
