[edit] Cleanup tag

I was surprised to find "Composers" and "DJs" in this list but I assume they are also musical performers as well? Also note that some people are listed multiple times due to the structure of this list. I know next to nothing about this genre but found it all a little confusing. Perhaps prune it to a simple alphabetical list and/or put the field in parenthesis after the name? Cleanr 00:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I agree that it is confusing. Another thing that seriously brings it down is the vast number of red links. I think these should be pruned somewhat, at the moment this list is highly vulnerable to hoax/vandalism, or at least good faith inclusion of non-notable stuff.

[edit] Incorrect inclusions and incomplete articles

There are a number of bands and artists listed here that aren't referred to elsewhere as "smooth jazz." I have only looked through the bands and vocalists. Some of these bands are probably smooth jazz, but it isn't in their articles. Personally, I think it's a problem when the lists say things that the articles do not. Most likely, either the article itself is missing the information it needs, or the artist shouldn't be here.

I didn't do anything other than catalog this and fix a few links. This is partially because I would probably get a number of things wrong. It is also partially because mass edits and removals by a new user are probably going to be treated with suspicion. Hopefully some other users will take interest here. I may have missed some things; some of these articles may well contain a mention of smooth jazz. I have also skipped over some artists and bands for now. BecauseWhy?
