Keith Emerson fundraiser
Hi there, I noted that you re-added the info about the suicide prevention fundraiser and added the Team Rock source. This is a better source than the initial one which was the founder's blog. Additionally, suicide prevention is certainly a worthy cause. However, I still have some concerns and thought it might be better to discuss them here rather than risk having an edit war on an article that is up for Good Article Nominee. I note that the fact that the article is up for GAN, plus the fact that prior to Keith's death it was approximately 80 percent poorly sourced/ unsourced/ editor's opinion type stuff, has heightened my awareness of removing material that is not really well sourced.

I am wondering about your statement that "a number of progressive rock-related blogs and websites" are organizing this fundraiser. I am seeing one blog, Proglodytes, organizing it and if we count Team Rock, that's two. I'm not seeing "a number". Do you have any support for a larger number of "progressive rock-related blogs and websites" sponsoring this fundraiser? Furthermore, I'm seeing this fundraiser sitting at a very small amount and with a target of only 1000 dollars. To post it at this time when the fundraiser is apparently just underway appears to be using Wikipedia to advertise the fundraiser, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia, rather than just adding information on a memorial fundraiser already widely reported.

I'll defer to you on this, feel free to take it out. I agree that the fundraiser barely seems notable given the low number of donations and less obvious support from other blogs. Progressive Music Planet and another prog blogger have sent out links for it but I don't have a source for that other than links to Facebook updates. Trust me, having the line removed from the Wikipedia page is not our biggest disappointment in running the fundraiser as you can probably guess. HomeWasGood (talk) 23:32, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
