Close paraphrasing[edit]

At least four paragraphs are close paraphrases of "Micah Stampley". Vol. 54. Detroit: Gale Cengage. 2006. {{cite encyclopedia}}: |work= ignored (help); Missing or empty |title= (help) (Available online through many libraries). Some detail has been dropped, and an occasional word changed, but for long stretches almost all of the original word choice, word order, and sentence structure is preserved.

For example:

Source: "Stampley was born the fifth child of Richard and Delmarie Stampley's eight musically gifted children ..."
Article: "Stampley was born the fifth child of Richard and Delmarie Stampley's eight children ..."

Source: "In March of 2005, his first gospel album, The Songbook of Micah, debuted at number three of Billboard's chart, an astounding accomplishment for a new artist. It was the second highest debut in Billboard's history for a male gospel artist, putting him ahead of gospel greats Smokie Norful, Kirk Franklin, and Donnie McClurkin."
