Red Link for James Jamerson jr. (or others) - ok or to avoid?
editI edited few smaller things on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jamerson - see: edit on 23:04, 7 August 2010 "fixed name wrong spelling, set link: see set link for relation or: www.philbrodieband.com/muso_james_jr.htm , minor edit: fixed space mark and missing bracket".
It might be self-evident in such a case, but after linking a Red Link appeared on this article here.
In the above mentioned article, under "Post-Motown career" at the end, a person - a son of that articles protagonist - is mentioned ("James Jamerson jr.") whose name spelling i first corrected and then linked to this site here - for that very person founded this "Chanson" group and has therefore been righteously mentioned in this article already.
This musician does not have an article of his own yet, hence the link to the only existing site of his work. As far as i understood, such linking to extend existing relations between persons in Wikipedia is correct?
In such case - is it basically ok to have a Red Link at all, or is there any way to avoid this 'issue' while not creating a whole new entry for this person, maybe by removing the (red)link from the second entry or something? Or am i completely wrong and must not link at all?
thanks!
