Fixing the spelling of his name[edit]

How do we fix the spelling of his name not only here but throughout Wikipedia?

On his Web site, he spells it DeVorzon, without a space.

A Wikipedia search redirects "Barry Devorzon" to this page, so I presume there's a redirect page with that title. I guess the content of this page could be put there, and this page made the redirect page, if you felt strongly enough about it. Lyn50 (talk) 03:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see that his repertoire at BMI has his name as "DE VORZON", two words. Is it possible he's used both over the years? Lyn50 (talk) 04:01, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't make sense[edit]

His first composing big hit was the rock song "Dreamin'," sung by Johnny Burnette in 1960, although he had a number-one hit previously called "Just Married," which he wrote for Marty Robbins in 1958.

How can a 1960 release be his first "composing big hit" if he had a "number-one hit previously" in 1958. Why "although"?

I think this guy deserves a better page than this.

Rewrote that sentence. The 1958 #1 was on the Country chart. ~~References to follow~~ [done]. Lyn50 (talk) 12:04, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
