Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hi there, if someone could help me understand what constitutes a reliable source so we can get this article up permanently. It's hard to understand why the French and Dutch versions of the page have been up for years but the English one is up for deletion. I would just like to understand what constitutes a reliable source for an artist whose career spans 3 decades and multiple internationally renown releases. Thanks a bunch!

FYI - English Wikipedia has a higher standard for references , so other-language not a valid defense. David notMD (talk) 07:50, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I added a ton of other citations if it can help. I am looking at other similar artists who have had pages up for years and have had their pages published with similar citations. Thanks! Pam Embert (talk) 07:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
