I've reviewed this article,, and unfortunately it's a quickfail due to a fair amount of unsourced content. I've conducted a full review below. Please note that my finding no issues in a particular aspect of this review does not necessarily mean there are none, and if the article is renominated in the future, the reviewer will recheck all categories. I apologize for any disappointment this causes – thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia!

Well written
Prose: The prose is well-written and engaging as a whole. MOS:
 * The presence of short paragraphs in the "Music career" section is jarring in places. The ones that fit with the paragraph before or after should be combined with those paragraphs; for the ones that don't, consider whether they should be included at all. If there's only enough information for one sentence, maybe it's not notable. If there's more information available, it should be added.
 * The citations in the lede can be removed, since they're supporting facts that are cited in the body.
 * The lede overall is good.
 * Layout is ok
 * MOS:WORDSTOWATCH compliance looks fine
 * List incorporation is ok

Verifiable
Reference style: Overall, fine. Reliable sources: No original research: Free of copyvio: Per Earwig, a few sentences and phrases may have been copied from the following page:
 * A few citations are malformed (missing key information, just a URL with an access date, etc)
 * I'm not sure about some of the sources used, like side-line.com and Contact News.
 * It's difficult to determine what sources are being used because some citations have a link but do not name the source.
 * There are a lot of unsourced statements. I've tagged the ones I see with cn.
 * https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/17942/gary-numan/, which is cited 15 times, appears to be a dead link.
 * I don't see any, with the possible exception of the unsourced statements
