Proposed deletion of Michael Ray Johnston (Musician)
Hello, Johnstonrk. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Michael Ray Johnston (Musician), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Michael Ray Johnston (Musician) to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

I am sorry, I didn't mean to delete the speedy deletion. I simply went to the page and added a couple of reference. I have more references and will be working on this over the following week. Michael Ray Johnston is a historic figure in the rock music heritage of Kansas City, MO. He has written a number of copyrighted songs and commercial ads in the 70's and was a member of several prominent bands whose members are part of published record contracts. As I am able to get more references I will be expanding the page and linking it to the appropriate support material. I also plan to upload picture of musicians Michael has worked with and link them to their wiki pages. It will all come together over time.
