Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Comment: Please do not resubmit without going through all sources and making sure that they are represented correctly, and that they actually support the information. The first source does not have the title that's given in the draft. It also doesn't say anything about when she was born. Reference 5 is not called "Wally Baram Booking Agent", although it is just a link to her agent (and as such it is a very poor source), and it also doesn't mention a birth year.When there are such glaring problems with the first two references I check, there is every reason to suppose there are other issues as well. bonadea contributions talk 10:22, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
