Talk:You Missed

Sourcing problem

Much of the article is sourced to a Forbes.com piece by Hugh McIntyre. This presents several problems. One is that the article, which went up on the site at 6:30 PM on the 14th, had already been taken down by 1:42 AM the next day. Even allowing for any time zone difference between Forbes and the archive, that page had not been up for half a day, and Forbes usually leaves things up for many years -- this appears to have been some form of a retraction. Another problem is that the author, McIntyre, is listed as a "Senior Contributor"... which in Forbes terminology means that their website hosts his blog, and that per WP:FORBESCON, we treat it as a self-published source. This means not only that we can only us it at all if McIntyre is a recognized expert in his field (and he may be, I am unfamiliar with him), but that even then, we cannot use this source for any statements about the musical artist himself. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
