- Comment: I doubt that Discogs and famousfix are reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 17:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: No improvements since the previous decline. Every source is either a trivial database entry or has Bruce Ryan mentioned in one line - there is no substantive coverage here at all. If you don't have any additional sources with at least 2-3 paragraphs about Bruce Ryan, specifically, it will just continue to be declined, wasting your and our time.
