Please review and comment on this article. I recently met one of the band member of The Young Man in a business function and was intrigued by the short history of this interesting Hong Kong band.

Hope that Wiki can publish it and perhaps more people from Hong Kong can contribute.

Thanks.

I looked through the article and I can see your fascination, and also appreciate the good account of things you have written up. But ... it seems like what you've done is to write up your interview or discussion. That's what Wikipedia calls "Original Research". Surprisingly, Wikipedia does not publish original research. (Don't take my word for it, look at Wikipedia:No original research). But since you've already done the work, you really ought to consider trying to publish it somewhere. I personally think this kind of history is worth preserving, but I can't suggest a proper forum.

You could write a Wikipedia article about the band if you can find reliable secondary sources to verify "notability". There is a list of criteria at WP:BAND that will show you what can be used to make a good case for notability. It all depends on being able to find published information. If you can do that, it should be an interesting article. Tkotc (talk) 07:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

That is all rather interesting. Good work. You could clean up the references to web pages using {{cite web}}. I quite liked the way you avoided explicitly mentioning that she was the actress Katherine Hepburn's mother until the last paragraph, and letting her article stand on it's own merits; but that might not be to everyone's liking. I have provided links to this article from Katharine Hepburn and Houghton family. Astronaut (talk) 14:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Picken, Laurence

Is this good enough for an article stub on Laurence Picken? I hope this will entice other ethnomusicologists to improve the entry.

Like with your other article, I think it's nicely written but perhaps an infobox would be a nice addition. Chevymontecarlo 15:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

John Hopkins (composer)

Is this good enough?

Yeah, I think it's a good start but I think it would benefit from something like an infobox. Chevymontecarlo 15:48, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

This is my first Wikipedia article. First draft was rejected with a request to make notability clear. This is the second draft, looking for ideas on for further improvement before I request a move again.
