Comment: Extensive coverage of Brett Goldsmith is required to establish notability - references need to be specifically about Brett as opposed to the Chantoozies. Interviews aren't considered independent. The reference from The Age is great - can you find any others? JSFarman (talk) 00:17, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
