Draft:Simon Duffy (producer)

  • Comment: Sourcing added since last decline still does not demonstrate WP:SIGCOV. It's possible that Duffy meets Criteria #3 of WP:MN but the lack of other appropriate sources leads me to decline this submission. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 01:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Most of the sources used are not reliable, such as Discogs, YouTube (see WP:RSPYT), Vimeo and IMDB (see WP:IMDB). For credits, AllMusic is a better source although credits alone is not enough to establish notability and notability is not inherited so working with others that are notable is not helpful from that perspective.
