Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO / WP:NCREATIVE - the 360 mastering website is a primary source and therefore not independent or reliable. The Grammy's reference does not even mention Beetham. Noting Facebook and Jaxsta are not acceptable or reliable sources either. Dan arndt (talk) 08:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
