A BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Sourcing is in passing, routine notices and / or WP:SPIP. Fails WP:BASIC / WP:ENT. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:06, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose: Hugely notable artist. Instead of deleting the information, try to improve with more reliable sources. werldwayd (talk) 01:44, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There have to be reliable sources to improve it with before "instead of deleting the information, try to improve with more reliable sources" is the magic word. Bearcat (talk) 19:02, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The references here are primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence, not reliable source coverage about him. And it's not enough to just say SOFIXIT, because anybody can simply say that about any topic — saving a badly sourced article does not hinge on simply theorizing that maybe better sources might exist, it hinges on showing hard evidence that better sources definitely do exist. So I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody can actually show a better quality of sourcing than my searches have been able to find — but it's not enough to just say that the sourcing needs to be improved if you don't show any actual evidence that the sourcing can be improved.
