Talk:Nicholas Lens

COI
I've added a COI tag to this article because it's regularly being edited by User:Artistresearch, who (I suspect) has an interest in the topic matter. The user has already been reported to the administrators. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 17:21, 23 October 2013 (UTC)


 * yes artistresearch is the website of the subject and is the originator of the topic< so delete the article then (if the subject is relevant and important enough somebody else will start it up again< we suggested that already but wikipedia is refusing< what is that you want then, Qwertyus..? please delete the article, apparently we can not — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artistresearch (talk • contribs) 16:22, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * A conflict of interest does not preclude inclusion, the tag only says that it may have issues and alerts our readers of a bias that may be present. Please reliably source the article and it should be ok, it's not overly promotional. I myself have made articles I had a COI with...see Dax Charles and the disclosure I made at []. Keep everything neutral and well sourced and you will be fine and you'll be fine. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

I have added references and removed the notability tag as this person clearly passes WP:MUSICBIO, on the recordings alone. I would also have removed the Conflict of Interest tag as the article in its current state does not reflect a COI. However, it had been removed by an anonymous IP (94.225.81.88) registered to Belgium who also removed the clearly referenced year of birth which is a matter of public record and appears on his publisher's website as well as on numerous databases.

Is it OK/relevant to add this review of the opera "Shell Shock" (I see a review of another piece is listed)? "Shell Shock" review Writie (talk) 09:43, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge with List of operas by Nicholas Lens
Not long enough for a stand alone list Gbawden (talk) 08:51, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd say to simply redirect List of operas by Nicholas Lens to this article. There's nothing to merge as this article already contains the information present in that list which has a sum total of 2 entries. The list was part of a concerted effort to plaster the subject's name and works all over Wikipedia (see the COI section above). Voceditenore (talk) 11:13, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * No discussion after a year and there does not appear to be an objection. Created redirect per WP:BOLD. No need to merge as the content was already in this page. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:00, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
