Comment: Sources need to be cited in-line. I did the very first one for you as an example (note footnote 1 and that the References section includes it) but see WP:INTREFVE for instructions. Websites are pretty easy to do once you get steps down. Also, you generally only need one or maybe two sources to support a fact. For additional guidance see Your first article along with the notability criteria for musicians. S0091 (talk) 16:59, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
