Comment: While there are unreliable sources here, none of these sources (reliable and unreliable) are independent nor in-depth. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 07:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Comments from the draft creator have been moved from here to Draft talk:Speed Darlington. --bonadea contributions talk 19:34, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: None of the sources offers anything close to significant coverage of the musician or of his music. Few of them are useful at all as sources.It looks like the footnotes have been more or less randomly added in the text. bonadea contributions talk 19:30, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: There has been no correction here. You are mistaken if you believe that there has been. Yi=our references are not of the calibre required. Another reviewer will make a review. They too, will check your work. They will make their own determination about it. What I suggest you do is to improve it and its poor references so that you demonstrate that he passes our tough criteria. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:38, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: My view, Gabriel601, is that he fails WP:NMUSICIAN and that this lack needs no further comment. It is your right to disagree, and your right to resubmit. If the next reviewer or the next etc disagrees with me that is fine. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 08:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
