Sourcing not good enough for a BLP

This has nearly nothing in the way of sources. Can any be found? Else this should stay a redirect or be put up for deletion - David Gerard (talk) 08:16, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Even the unreliable sources have been removed. BLPPROD - David Gerard (talk) 09:08, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited material

I appreciate the desire to put in as much information as possible, but this is a biography of a living person. We can't have uncited material (even if it's not negative, and even if some of it is claimed to be quotes from Brodén himself). In any case, very little of this is encyclopedic. An encyclopedia entry doesn't need to state all his influences or his philosophy of life. What would be good is more about his education and jobs he's had—mundane biographic stuff. But it needs to have been published somewhere reliable, and the source needs to be cited when it's added. Yngvadottir (talk) 23:48, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
