TenPoundHammer:, we've used Saving Country Music as a citation on hundreds of articles before. I've never seen anyone challenge it as a source, even in instances as a reference for death on the main
Deaths in 2022 page. I don't see why it would fail
WP:RS in this case. Blogs are not ALWAYS disallowed as sources, particularly if there is nothing else available in their place and the accuracy of said blog isn't in question. There has been lots of discussion about Bresh's death on social media incl. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, as well as on several forums. His death is not in dispute. Saving Country Music will suffice until (or if) a superior source emerges. Also, I will just add that contrary to your claim above, it's just not true that official channels on Facebook and Twitter can never be used as sources. Thanks --
