This template has been included in many articles which have little to do with Al Hirt. Just because he recorded a song does not justify including this template in an article. I suggest it be removed from most of the articles that unjustifiably include it.

The same situation occurs for Category:Al Hirt

A question: If we include the template of every artist that every recorded a song, many song articles would include twenty or thirty templates--Foobarnix (talk) 02:16, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-08-28T02:16:00.000Z","author":"Foobarnix","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Foobarnix-2015-08-28T02:16:00.000Z-Excessive_use_of_template","replies":["c-Gamaliel-2015-09-12T01:04:00.000Z-Foobarnix-2015-08-28T02:16:00.000Z","c-Foobarnix-2015-09-12T02:13:00.000Z-Foobarnix-2015-08-28T02:16:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Agreed. This giant template doesn't need to be in the article of every song he covered, and the template itself should be pruned. Compare this to the much smaller Template:Louis_Armstrong.

Thank you for your support Gamaliel. I will look into doing some more pruning.--Foobarnix (talk) 02:13, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-09-12T02:13:00.000Z","author":"Foobarnix","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Foobarnix-2015-09-12T02:13:00.000Z-Foobarnix-2015-08-28T02:16:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
