Comment: There is content that is not supported by reliable sources, mainly the recognition section which is 50 percent of the draft. Many of the references that are used look like a press campaign with headings of "sensational singer" or other promotional tone, some of which is not bylined and uses the same image which makes me leery about considering them reliable and independent.
