As promised during the AfD, I have asked an OTRS correspondent ( VRTS ticket # 2019091210000283) who says that he is the subject of this article to check the latest version for accuracy. Here are his comments (with some personal details omitted):
For starters, I do not recall Saturday Review's having such a title as "contributing editor" (though Stereo Review did). I don't think "bachelor of philosophy" has to be spelt out: "Ph.B." would do. I would suggest again that someone at Wikipedia simply check the listings in Grove, Baker's, etc., and base the listing on what is found there. I am not a very important figure, just someone whose name is known within a fragment of today's public interested in music... Baker's, in which Slonimsky himself wrote every entry, is thoroughly reliable... If I can get to this small item myself I'll send something to you, but as things stand now the current Grove material is a tad more up-to-date, but not necessarily more thorough than what is in Baker's. If you can find the Richard Freed who wrote "Sex After Broccoli," that might be worth your attention. As the wonderful Anna Russell used to say, "I'm not making this up, you know!"
Participants in the AfD, recent editors of the article and anyone else with an interest are asked to consider these comments. Cordless Larry ( talk) 17:57, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

On 13 January, User:Aesthetic Writer placed a copyright violation notice on this article. The notice suggests an improper use of https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/author/freed-richard. The resulting reports show some trivial uses of the same phrases concerning Freed's job descriptions and career. This cannot constitute a copyright violation. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 02:02, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
