Poorly sourced, padded, promotional biography

Summarizing from Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Brent_Faiyaz and my edit summaries:

The sourcing is currently little more than warmed-over press releases and announcements. If Faiyaz is notable at all, it's difficult to tell if it is because of his public relations efforts vs independently written responses to his work. Clarifying why he's notable (from WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC or both) should be editors' first priority.

Repeatedly writing that a subject did X on Month DD, YYYY with such sources is UNDUE and SOAP, and a BLP vio as a result. --Ronz (talk) 17:32, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
