[edit] Section "Sidemen"

Would anybody here object if this section were deleted? It is incomplete, inaccurate, and, in my humble opinion, completely superfluous. Regards. 81.83.130.171 (talk) 19:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Considering that none of the members of the ten (TEN !) WikiProjects to whom this article is of the "utmost importance" have raised any objections against (or even reacted to) the above proposal (which has been posted here a week ago), I will now delete this section. Regards. 81.83.136.17 (talk) 13:34, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Personal life

I'm very surprised that this article carries so little information about Davis's personal life and relationships. It says he "rekindled his relationship with Cicely Tyson" but doesn't say anything about the first phase of this relationship. There is one brief reference to his first marriage to Betty Mabry. More to the point, Davis was a well-known wife-beater. There must be numerous sources for this information, so I would be very grateful if someone with knowledge of the subject could add it. --Viennese Waltz 07:54, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] The lead blows. I'm talking chunks.

I'm reading detailed descriptions of a few random events which occurred a few years ago, while the actual life and accomplishments of Miles Davis are seemingly tacked on to one end of it as if it were an afterthought. My favorite Rudy Ray Moore quote comes to mind: "Bitch! Are you for real?"RadioKAOS (talk) 16:16, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

So fix it. --Pmsyyz (talk) 14:49, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
