BLP edit

I have removed a heaping list of names because there was no reliable source for any of them. See WP:BLP. If possible, the article should be expanded with supporting citations to reliable sources. If none are found, then claims about living persons should stay out. Here are some starting points for finding reliable sources:

Reliable sources

@Eastmain: thank you for helping improve this article's sourcing. Here, you added TigerBillsDrumBeat, which is a blog. It's a fan blog often with first person accounts of various subjects. The author even writes about people he knows as longtime friends. I get it, tight community. But since there's already a better cite to back up the same info, could the article go without it? Thank you again for your work! JFHJr (㊟) 04:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
