Comment: For a Wikipedia article about a person to be published, that person must be about a notable. A person is notable if there is significant coverage about that person in several independent, reliable sources. * Coverage of a person is significant if the person is covered in depth in the source; passing mentions and routine news stories are generally not significant.* A source is independent if it is not a person or organization associated with the article subject.* A source is generally considered to be reliable if it has some clear editorial standards, including fact checking.Only two sources meet the above here: the Cour d'Alene Press and NME. New Age Music Guide is a blog and does not appear to be reliable.Additionally, phrases like "passed away" and words like "iconic" should be removed. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:52, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
