Chidgk1 I have just replaced the source with the link from the Guardian, as you suggested. Unfortunately, I don't know who is who in the pic, and I have deleted the discography from discogs from the text, and put it into External links. - That is allowed, isn't it?Munfarid1 (talk) 01:16, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Article length and age are fine, checked QPQ not required, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says discogs can be used as an external ref so everything fine here. Although the news is sad. Approving first hook so now we just wait for it to be put in the DYK queue.
Yoninah As I have got confused about pics in DYK in the past please could you tell me whether it would be OK or not to use the pic if the requestor would like to, given that we don't know who the copyright holder is? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
