• Comment: "and the United States.[8] [9][10][11]" is a prime example of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder. 🇺🇦  Fiddle^Timtrent  Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 20:44, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: There is an existing article with the same title as this draft, which is about a different person with the same name. If this draft is accepted, the existing primary page should be renamed with a disambiguator, and this draft should be made primary. The hatnote at the top of this draft indicates what the new title of the current primary should be.
  The current primary page is Aaron Pollock. Robert McClenon ( talk) 06:22, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: I think there is more to do. Looking at the streams (for example) on Spotify, he's not a particularly well established artist. The sources are reliable but do not really substantiate that he meets the musician standard for notability... maybe the awards do? MarcGarver ( talk) 14:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
