Draft:Piers Hemmingsen
| Submission declined on 4 July 2024 by Ca (talk). The current sources doesn't really give much to work with. He is interviewed in multiple news articles for his expertise in the Beatles and for his book. However, that doesn't translate well into actual content for a Wikipedia article, where we require biographical information. In short, with the current sources, it's not possible to expand the article beyond a single paragraph. I recommend finding in-depth sources about Hemmingsen that contains info about his career/life/whatever.
