- Comment: These are better sources but the coverage itself is still very thin, just a paragraph or two. In-depth coverage of this artist is needed to demonstrate notability. RadioFan (talk) 13:34, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: This still needs any more available coverage overall. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 08:35, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
