Comment: Better, but still mostly passing mentions. Sustained and focused coverage from reliable sources unconnected to the subject are missing. Biographical information lacks sources entirely and are not permitted per WP:BLP. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Four of the citations are from the subject's personal website; another three are from AllMusic. Also, WP:IMDB. Lots of passing mentions, but no focused and sustained coverage of the subject specifically from reliable sources. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:37, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm skeptical of obscure daily newspapers, since they have to churn our news 24/7, but simple interviews should be fine. However, interviews of the subject are considered primary sources since its purpose is to represent someone's viewpoint on a matter.I suggest finding sources that aren't purely interviews, pages without a giant "send your news" button.Also, This is is an example of churnalism.I don't think there is enough independent coverage to cobble together a good biography. Sourcing an article mainly on non-independent sources only represent one viewpoint, which goes against our neutraility policy. Ca talk to me! 09:59, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Violinists Support Ukraine edit
Kerenza is the creator of the ‘Violinists Support Ukraine’ movement. She co-ordinated the recording of traditional Ukrainian folk song Verbovaya Doschechka by 94 renowned violinists across the world, to demonstrate their solidarity after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022[33]. Notable contributors include Mark O'Connor, Daniel Hope and leaders of orchestras from 29 countries[34].
The collaboration also included 9 young Ukrainian violinists, some of whom had to record their contributions from bomb shelters[35][36]. The montage was played during ITV's televised Concert for Ukraine and accompanied live by soloist Nicola Benedetti[3][37]
