Reverted edits to Kevin Toney
editI reverted past your edits to the article today. This is for 3 reasons:
- You removed reference text, which could leave the article open to deletion under Wikipedia's WP:BLP policy. (That's what the previous edit had been intended to address.)
- Some of the added text was non-encyclopaedic in tone ("He’s a pianist, composer, arranger and producer. A renowned contemporary instrumental recording artist, Kevin has shared his gifts and spirits with people all around the world. ")
- And thirdly, there is the conflict of interest issue, as was noted previously above.
