ICONOCLAST (Avant Jazz Duo)
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, ICONOCLAST (Avant Jazz Duo), may be copied from http://musicians.allaboutjazz.com/musician.php?id=15162. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

 * So you have a bias. These are worth reading: Neutral point of view, What Wikipedia is not, Notability (music). More help is available at my User page when you click on my name.

Thank you for the links to the Wikipedia guidelines. I have previously consulted the first three but not yours, which was very helpful.

Relating to your concerns, I would posit that being a “fan” does not necessarily denote bias but, rather, an intellectual interest in the subject.

Observing the NPOV guidelines, this entry achieves neutrality by using an “impartial tone” and adhering to the instructions about “Describing aesthetic opinions” by avoiding effusive or judgmental language—as well as the two other core content policies: Verifiability (offering 9 previously published, reliable sources) and No original research.

Observing the “What Wikipedia Is Not” guidelines, the tone, language, and information in the entry are not promotional, nor do I have a personal involvement with the subject.

As for the “Notability (Music)” guidelines, the subject meets the “Criteria for musicians and ensembles” regarding being “the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.”

As you will note, I have updated the References section of the entry to address the concerns about notability.
