Entry for Stephen [sic] Cole (tenor)
Mr Cole would like his entire entry to be deleted. Is there anything that can be done about this?
I can sympathize with this. The article was very poor (the original version appears to have been copied from somewhere
[1]), without proper referencing or formatting, repetitive, and worst of all, under the wrong spelling of his name. However, this is a notable artist. I have begun a drastic rewriting and restructuring of this article and have moved it to the correct spelling of his name. Over the next two days, I will build up the article again with proper references for his later performances and discography.
