This BLP about a musician is poorly sourced. There are 23 references and none are WP:RS. There are 5 refs to Twitter, 3 to Facebook, 1 to IMDb, 3 to Stanford's blog, 2 to YouTube, 1 to Amazon, 3 to Instagram, 1 to Vimeo and 1 to iTunes. There is one to a record company site which is now a deadlink, one to a concert announcement on soundsofthecityblog, and one to a ticket site. The External Links section has a link to NPR which may be ok coverage, but is short. I have carried out WP:BEFORE and not found anything to add. I don't think Stanford meets WP:NMUSIC and the article has been tagged with that concern since 2016. Tacyarg ( talk) 16:42, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
