Comment: There's only one good source, his entry in the Biographical Dictionary of Silent Film Western Actors and Actresses. All but one of the rest are merely passing mentions, as far as I can tell from the visible snippets. One is a bit longer, but is still not all that substantial. Not hopeless, but I can't accept the article as it stands now. Keep digging. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:11, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Please add more indepth references that cover Edgar Jones. Passing mentions do not represent WP:SIGCOV. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:03, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
