Revert to old version

I reverted back to a version of the article from last June. The article had been changed to consist purely of WP:BLP violations. There were a lot of names listed, but I could see only one that had an article. There were absolutely no sources, which is never good, but even worse when it is an article that only list BLPs.

And now, a big block of names keeps getting added back to the article. While listing notable artists is fine, they must have some sign of notability. A sourced Wikipedia article would be preferred, but, at least, reliable, third party sources are needed. Youtube, Facebook, and blogs do not count as reliable sources.

@Samishukayr:@3anjad: Reverbnation and lebaneseunderground are not reliable sources. Please see WP:RS. Also, please see WP:LISTPEOPLE. Each entry must have either a Wikipedia article or a third party, reliable source. Apparition¹¹ ^Complaints/Mistakes 12:08, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
