• Comment: Wikipedia subjects need in-depth coverage (full-length articles, not just passing mentions) in usually at least 3 reliable sources that are not written by or affiliated with the subject. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The infobox states their birthdate is June 7, while the first sentence states their birthdate is July 6. Which is correct? GoingBatty (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Oh, regarding the Toronto mayoral run, see WP:NPOL: candidates for election are not presumed notable, and in fact mayors are not presumed notable (though if Charlton had won the mayoral election, Toronto's mayor probably is notable.) Minor coverage of a mayoral candidate is likely to be considered WP:ROUTINE, especially when all candidates are given an equal platform. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The very large number of sources now show verifiability of information but not yet notability of the subject. Music reviews are the best sources about Charlton rather than by Charlton, but these all appear to be blogs, which cannot support notability because they are user-generated content. Similar coverage in a magazine or newspaper (one with an editorial board) would support notability. "Books about Matti Charlton on Google Books" also don't support notability since it's obvious that they are probably by Charlton (not "Donaldo Trumpetti"). Being collected in libraries/archives or writing for newspapers is not clear evidence of notability. See WP:NAUTHOR: a notable author should have several books that pass WP:NBOOK. My advice to the editor here is to focus on quality over quantity and look for 2-3 sources that are independent and secondary. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 17:48, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
