Untitled

Since this project described never happened, does it belong in the article? I removed it for now:

Later in 1979, Mathews met a man by the name of Brian Champagne. Brian was majoring in classical guitar at Berklee School of Music. After hearing this information, Mathews decided to form a band with Brian, the title of their new project would be known forever as "The Raging Pumps of B-town Dog Street and The Brian champagne project (featuring Brian Champagne) Unfortunately, brian met an untimely death due to stomach cancer before the two could begin recording.

Similarly removed this one: Mathews returned from London where he and Nagle were producing a (never released) single for EMI featuring David Bowie protege', Geoff McCormac JoeD80 (talk) 21:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also removed the long paragraph about the beach boys, because there was a lot of unnecessary prose. I reduced the whole point to a single sentence. JoeD80 (talk) 21:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The list of artists worked with is a bit overblown -- I found that "working" with Keith Richards amounted to him being on the same track on John Lee Hooker's Mr. Lucky. I'll try to research which albums he did what on soon, but if anyone knows for sure add them and replace that paragraph! JoeD80 (talk) 21:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra

Why does this information keep getting deleted? He produced it. End of story. JoeD80 (talk) 22:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My first edit here

Hello friends. I came to this article at random to see how I might help improve it. The tags atop the page were worrisome and I would at first want to address the things necessary to get them removed. I grabbed a chapter and frankly the first sentence was way over the top on pov and puffery. And the significant things written, require the support of references. In short there is a lot to do with this that needs to be done. I am out of time this minute, but I intend to have a closer look. In the coming days I'll be editing this article with you, it would be great for others to get on with it as well. Best - My76Strat (talk) 02:19, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TNT and WP:42

Well, I'm inclined to revert this per WP:TNT and WP:42. The main author is a WP:SPA and probable WP:SOCK who is either Mathews himself or someone closely associated with him. I placed a WP:COI warning on the user's talk page over two weeks ago [1]. The "sourcing" is utterly worthless in terms of establishing notability, almost all of it primary stuff from his personal website, and most of the rest of it is just awful stuff that is purely promotional (cduniverse??) and in no way independent of the subject. I have searched and haven't found anything significant in terms of WP:RS. Based on the current sourcing, I doubt this mess would survive an AfD, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I'm going to stub it, as I suggested above, per WP:TNT and WP:42. If there is an article here to be built with reliable secondary sources, then by all means, let it be built. The WP:COI WP:SPA should recuse himself and let experienced editors do the job. That okay with you, Mr. Mathews and/or associates? I think it's a fair shake. Recuse yourself per WP:AUTO and/or WP:COI, and refrain from WP:EDITWAR. I think it's about the fairest shake you're going to get, given the current shape of this promotional article.

Much of this article appears to be purely promotional and is unsuitable for Wikipedia. I believe the article should be deleted or dastically pruned. 86.128.3.213 (talk) 12:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've spent an hour and a half today trying to clean it up. I've rarely seen such dishonest "sourcing" in an article. Most of the sources given had nothing to do with the text they were allegedly supporting. I've trimmed all of that, including all of the dead links. Qworty (talk) 21:06, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

duplink issues

this article is saturated with duplicate links (as per MOS:DUPLINK), which makes it incredibly difficult to read (not to mention the incessant boasting and unncessary jargon...). i tried to remove as many as i could stand to remove, but i'm putting this out there in case anyone else wants to continue from where i've left off.

Editing More

This article still needs heavy editing. Thank you to the editors who have worked on it over the last decade. There is so much cheerleading language in it, it is clearly being edited by the subject of the article or someone who works for him. Editors, please use credible citations, only include relevant information, and stop trying to make this an ego piece for the subject. He's very clearly successful, this isn't the place to list his entire history. DFS (talk) 16:18, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of information in this article cannot be verified, and seems to contradict easily verifiable facts. If any deleted information can be confirmed with credible citations, please provide them. Please note that credible citations do not include other wiki-style articles.DFS (talk) 17:36, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
