NPOV
I would encourage the author to get a second editor to look at the article, as it does lose objectivity at various points, verging on the adorative. That the subject "becomes a more spiritual person" is very likely just a question of opinion rather than fact, for instance: did he take to a religious practice of some sort (as the Beatles did), or are you saying he simply matured? It rather lacks NPOV as a result. Almost all humans have a spiritual side, which comes and goes, and develops with experience: it relates to our capacity to abstract, which makes us the dominant species, as we routinely conceive of intangibles far beyond the animal level of "this's good to eat, that isn't". Spiritual maturity is a learning experience: the other path risks derangement. Because a musician of whatever sort has to communicate on the emotional spectrum, I would have thought that he was already quite developed spiritually as an empath to communicate something more than buzzes and rattles, and so if he actually did develop, I think you should say in which way. Did he become a seer, or work miracles (even minor secular ones are still miracles)? Or did he just feel more content with the world? Churchill's comments on that are pertinent, that it is the aim of the young to find their place in the world, so we should expect this of them, whereas the older person may have to defence theirs, so the path is from place-finding to validating their earlier discoveries. Adoration is a perfectly possinle form of NPOV, of course, if you can justify that this person is so exceptional as to justify it. Yes, I have the right to put it that way as I have a fairly significant share in the real work which won the 2012 Peace Prize, in a direct line 2 degrees of remove from Ghandi (my mother was Krishna Mennon's PA during the Independence talks and I am one degree of remove from the UN's Amartya Sen supremo: our daughters are off on a razzle together as I type): my own seer skills, which have been objectively tested, gave the heads-up on the fall of the Iron Curtain two months before it happened, to the head of the diplomatic Organisation which handled the consequences, and that was only the start. The reason I was in a position to do so was a minor miracle - reader, I married her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.197.30.186 (talk) 09:07, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
