On 6 April 2014 User:Mz7 added a Notability template to this article and gave an edit summary (Added {{notability}} tag to article (TW)) with little additional detail. Subsequently Mz7 removed a description of the subject's major work and two references.
According to Wikipedia:Notability (people), any person is likely to be notable if they meet the following standards: The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field
McFarlane's magnum opus is his encyclopaedia, which is widely recognised as an authoritative source for information on Australian musicians from the 1950s to late 1990s. The quote removed from the article by Mz7 makes this point, I have returned the quote (with an archiveurl) and added an additional one from another secondary source.
Additional works by McFarlane have been described in edits by User:Dan arndt and myself.
I have recently removed the template inserted by Mz7 and I ask for any further concerns to be aired here prior to questions on its notability being disputed elsewhere without feedback from interested editors. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 00:28, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying that. I'm happier with this article but it probably needs a bigger Lead now that the main text has been expanded, however I'm busy elsewhere too. Thanks for your help in getting WP improved. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 00:51, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
@ Toddst1: removed most of the last ¶, with the edit summary: way, way off topic
I disputed this characterisation and found this to be disruptive editing. I reverted the edit, with my summary: Returned recently deleted material: it was referenced, relevant and updated his career to 2010s;
I ask the user to discuss his preferred version here so that we can reach a consensus. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 20:02, 22 March 2021 (UTC)00:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
