Some of the songs aren't singles. Looks more like a list of Top Tens. Poshzombie ( talk) 23:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was Move the page. Despite Xn4's suggestion, I see no reason for there to be a dab page when there are only two notable Doug Stones, and one seems more notable than the other by a wide margin. I should also note that another admin killed the dab at Doug Stone (not as part of this discussion, though), so I just went ahead and moved it anyway.

Doug Stone (singer) → Doug Stone — As with my suggestion here, I feel that between Doug Stone, the singer, and Doug Stone, the voice actor, the singer is by far more notable, given that the singer has far more sources and incoming links. (The comedian is a red link whose existence I've been largely unable to verify; therefore, I believe that he is not notable and will probably never have a page). I would imagine that just about everyone who types in "Doug Stone" on Wikipedia would be searching for the singer, not the voice actor, and I think that the page should be moved so that we just have two pages (singer and voice actor) instead of three (singer, voice actor, dab). — Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ( Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll give this a go.
More later. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:58, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Overall, I think the main issues are just fleshing out the prose in certain areas. I appreciate it's a bit difficult to get sources, but I'm just trying to avoid an article that's mainly "In 1992, Stone did 'x'. In 1993, he did 'y'. In 1994, he did 'z'." We should know a bit more about the man himself and what makes him tick rather than just a list of his records. From checking up on some of the sources, I had to go back to the lead to check he was still alive! Anyway, for now I'm putting the review on hold pending completion of the remainder of the issues.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Doug Stone. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
