FA in need of review

[edit]

This older FA on a living person has not been reviewed since its promotion in 2007.

  • The article does not comprehensively cover the artist's work that came out after the article's promotion (there are only single-mentions of Invol2ver, Involv3r and Scene Delete in the article. There is coverage out there of these works).
  • The article is also very dated for a BLP-FA:
  • now regularly receives - 2006 source;
  • These tracks...are edited by Sasha - 2006 source;
  • Sasha runs a music studio and lives in New York City, and maintains a house in London. - 2004 source
  • Sasha attributes his success to his technical skill and ability to "connect with his dancers". - 2000 source. --> In a 2000 interview, Sasha attributed...
  • There are so few links dated after 2008 in the article, you'd think the artist retired a decade ago. From a Google search:

... The article needs an update to reflect ongoing coverage of the artist. RetiredDuke (talk) 14:57, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

[edit]

The date of birth needs a proper reference. Allmusic, Discogs, etc, aren't generally considered reliable sources. Deb (talk) 10:12, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hatfield College

[edit]

"Sasha passed the entrance exam for Hatfield College at age 17. However, he did not like Epsom and left before completing his A-Level examinations."

Problems: The source doesn't mention Hatfield College or Epsom: it says he moved to Maidenhead age 11 and back to Wales age 17. There is no Hatfield College in Epsom. There was a "Hatfield Technical College"/"Hatfield College of Technology" until 1969 at Hatfield in Hertfordshire, a long way from either Epsom or Maidenhead, and Hatfield College, Durham is part of the university.

So this couple of sentences doesn't really make any sense as far as I can see. PamD 15:15, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
