Comment: I agree with SafariScribe's assessment. With the exception of the online concert hosting, sources only mention Schichter in passing, so this draft is pretty sparse. Most of the draft is simple "Schichter was a(n) x in y album", and gives no further commentary. Ca talk to me! 16:02, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This is well written, but since it is a WP:BLP, I a concerned on the uncited contents of the "Early life" section. Please provide sources for them. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:12, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
