Edits to Patrick Bates reverted
I've reverted your edits to the Patrick Bates article for two reasons: If this is unclear, please ask for assistance. However, do not attempt to attach this separate individual onto the football player's article. —C.Fred (talk) 23:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) An article should only be about a single subject. If the musician were notable (and I'm not convinced he is—see WP:MUSIC for the criteria he would have to meet to be notable), he would need to have his own article, with a title like Patrick Bates (musician).
 * 2) You removed a number of important tags and templates for the article, including its categories and list of references.
