Stock Aitken Waterman?

Astley is one of the most successful recording stars of his era. Implying in the introduction that his success should be credited to Stock Aitken Waterman is dishonest and violates Misplaced Pages's guidelines.

There is no reason not to mention Stock Aitken Waterman in the body of the article. Fielding99 (talk) 20:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
