'''Feedback'''{{pb}}The reviewer, Bonadea, left the following feedback:
{{divbox|gray|3=This draft is not adequately supported by [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]]. Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability policy]] requires that all content be supported by [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]].
* Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
* Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, [[Predatory publishing|predatory publishers]], most [[Tabloid journalism|tabloids]], and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.|}}{{divbox|blue|3=Discogs, Spotify and Wikipedia cannot be used as a source. Google Books isn't a source – a book can be a source, but we can't list "Google Books" in the references any more than we'd list a public library where the book is stocked.}}
