New personal life section?
The entire Personal life section was deleted recently by Drmies due to poor sourcing and lack of relevance. Anyone who knows Ren and his music probably knows about his health issues and Lyme's disease which have had a huge impact on his life and career so they are actually very relevant in this article. Most of the health-related stuff was in the deleted section, and now the article doesn't even mention the actual illness, there are just scattered references to him being sick. So the recent deletions really affected the article in a negative way. Is there a way to bring back the old Personal life section and then work on the sourcing? Mackey79 (talk) 18:33, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I think if you go into the article history, you can find what was removed. Maybe work it up into a better, more well-referenced narrative and be more efficient in the use of language, many of the supposed objections could be ameliorated.  However, I don't speak for Drmies, and if you want to know specifically why they removed something, you'd have to ask them.  -- Jayron 32 18:59, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This is the reason for deleting it all.
 * Drmies (talk | contribs)
 * (→‎Personal life: none of this is properly sourced or directly relevant)
 * But actually some of it was properly sourced with secondary sources but he deleted it anyway and obviously all the health related stuff was relevant. 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:A544:CB5C:5209:A88E (talk) 22:24, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree, the Lyme disease is clearly very relevant to the article and should be covered. I have restored two sentences but placed them in the Life and Career heading. The abortive deal with Sony deserves a mention there too, but was not quite sure where it fits. I left out specific details of his treatment, for which I don't think there is a consensus that such details are relevant. Note also I removed teh pipe taht calls his CFS diagnosis "ME", because that term is no longer used. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The mention of Ren being in Canada for further treatment is now a bit oddly placed in the Big Push section. It might be good to move it but where? The early life bit perhaps, with the other health stuff even though the Canada thing is not about his early life. I think it would be good to have a separate section for the health related info. Mackey79 (talk) 11:54, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Honestly, there's probably too much sections as it is. One section is probably sufficient, without all of the subheaders.  It doesn't really aid in navigation or organization, and just takes up space and breaks up the narrative.   -- Jayron 32 12:15, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, maybe. I guess the best place for the Canada bit at the moment would be with the mention of health issues in Early life. A more cohesive structure could be worked out later. Mackey79 (talk) 12:32, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I edited out the sections and moved health stuff to the beginning paragraph. Thoughts? 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:7C2D:63A1:BA6D:28DD (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Ideally the lead section should summarise information in the main text. That means that the detail gets written in the main section, and a briefer summary goes in the lead. Although repetitive, it means the most pertinent information is in the lead (which everyone reads) and the detail is in the main (which they don't). Have a read of Manual of Style/Lead section for more. So, I would suggest said information belongs in personal life. Exactly where, I leave up to you. I would suggest that any mention of Sony should have mention of the illness close to it, as it was ill health that led to the abandonment of that deal. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:12, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Trick the Fox rewrite
This is what I have so far. I removed some of the dates from secondary sources for now. I will get citations ironed out but I would like input form everyone about if it is accurate and what needs work etc, before I get exact time stamps.

Ren moved to Bath to study music performance at Bath Spa University. While there, he started a band called Trick The Fox. When Ren was 18 or 19 he was discovered by Eric Appapoulay while Ren was busking his own song. Eric thought the lyrics were incredible and wanted to make an album with him in London. Eric was part of a subsidiary of Sony Records. A recording contract was signed. Ren and Charlie Fowler, another member of Trick the Fox, started to record an album, write songs, and tour.

In June 2012 they played at the Ravenstonedale festival. The first time Trick The Fox heard one of their songs on the radio was on December 2, 2012, when BBC Radio 1xtra played their song "Twista".] Ren moved to Brighton in 2013. Trick The Fox were listed as one of the acts performing at Beach Break Live 2013. Ren became too sick to finish the album and In July 2013, Ren made an announcement on the band's Facebook and Twitter accounts stating that Trick The Fox would be disbanding. Ren's contract with Sony expired. Ren had a conversation with Eric and Ren decided his illness was affecting his mental and physical health ability so much that he couldn’t perform. He declined not to continue his relationship with Sony because of this. Ren was finally given a diagnosis in 2015 of Lyme’s Disease. Kiwatts (talk) 12:31, 11 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't see why you have to totally rewrite it, just put in the bits you want and he was not discovered busking when he was 18 because he was still living in Wales then. He states in his Hawkins interview that he moved to Bath when he was 19 and he went there to attend university, so I would say being as university starts around sept/oct he would have been 19 not 18. I know he said he was discovered by Eric when he was 18/19 but obviously he was not 18. Dovonex (talk) 15:43, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't say I won't be keeping the dates. I said. " I removed some of the dates from secondary sources for now. I will get citations ironed out."
 * Everything you added is still there. I did put the part where he couldn't finish the album towards the end because that is when it happened due to his health. It's important to make things flow and not scatter that timeline. Kiwatts (talk) 20:17, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you been able to get the timestamps for the things you added to the Article that were in the podcast? We need them so they will be cited properly. Kiwatts (talk) 20:32, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This is my original draft prior to working on this page instead. Draft:Ren (British Musician) Kiwatts (talk) 20:38, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There will be a new Ren interview dropping Monday with Knox Hill. Dovonex (talk) 22:39, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Do you remember which part of the video the addition was? I will need to reword it otherwise. My secondary source doesn't say an age (19). Black Pegasus is going to do an interview too.  Kiwatts (talk) 02:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * forgot to include the line
 * Ren moved to Bath to study music performance at Bath Spa University when he was 19 Kiwatts (talk) 02:47, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I put a timestamp for him saying he moved out of Wales when he was 19 in the Hawkins vid. He does not say he moved to Bath but he did. He just says he has lived in Bath and Brighton. Dovonex (talk) 04:11, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It will work because you also added when he moved to Brighton. Kiwatts (talk) 04:14, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I listened to section where talks about where he lived. I think it's better to take it out of there. I want to put more in personal section. Talking about the places he lived would definitely work and we won't have to make an educated guess. Educated or not at the end of the day it is a guess. Black Pegasus has a short video posted asking people to put questions for Ren for him to ask when he does the interview. Might be a good chance to get missing details   Kiwatts (talk) 22:07, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtPMv_ENuEg Kiwatts (talk) 22:09, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The source was for he moved from Wales at 19, it was sourced and time stamped, so far you have removed the reference to Wales and now you have removed his age. Please put it back. Dovonex (talk) 22:38, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * My Apologies I was so focused on checking that everything is cited properly that it didn't even occur to me you might have changed it. Thanks for doing that.  You are welcome to put it back. I did write down a little better timestamp that starts right before he talks about it .(2:19)
 * If you don't do by morning EST I will
 * I still think having info about where he has lived will fit well in the personal section as well. Kiwatts (talk) 00:30, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You didn't change the wording at all. It you remove why he moved the sentence reads
 * Ren moved to Bath when he was 19.
 * He doesn't actually say that in the section you cited When I made the comment I did I assumed it was easy to tell.
 * Try Rewording it. Perhaps make it a separate sentence that will flow with the rest of the paragraph. Kiwatts (talk) 00:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Not that it matters now I didn't remove this he moved from Wales. Go through the edit history. You will see it was never there.and I didn't remove anything of yours I didn't tell you about.  Kiwatts (talk) 02:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * One other thing. If you read the tweets of Trick The Fox, they were pretty much done by July 2012 because Ren got sick and moved back to Wales. All their plans were put on hold and never happened. So their Twitter account was just Charlie posting nothing much apart from promises of an EP, busking tour and an album, none of which ever happened. Dovonex (talk) 04:14, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes that is why I didn't say they performed at Beach Break Live. I wasn't sure they made it given what I was reading. I used Trick The Fox was listed as one of the acts performing at BEACH BREAK LIVE instead. That says they were a named performer who was expected to go without saying if they did or didn't perform.  Good to point that out though just in case I missed it. Thanks   Kiwatts (talk) 04:26, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It's after midnight here and I have to be up in 5 hours Kiwatts (talk) 04:28, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I edited things in an effort to be able to clear up the missing citations. I didn't want them to stay that way if they didn't have to. Feel free to rework / remove anything you feel needs it. I tried to tie up the end of Trick the Fox without saying it. I had been working on it prior to the Justin Hawkins interview. Kiwatts (talk) 02:02, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Not sure what the Ren went to London with him means, your link just has Ren saying Eric said he would like to take him to London. Ren went to London for sure to record with the band and play gigs but they were still living in Bath. Also you said Ren went home when he got sick and a link stating he went home to Brighton but he did not, he went home to Wales about July 2012 until he moved to Brighton in Feb 2013 by which time Trick The Fox were dead and buried. He even says he went home to Wales when he was sick in the Hawkins interview I believe. 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:C8FA:48D9:6CF9:3A0F (talk) 17:44, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Citation failed verification
Since becoming sick, Ren has said that his life's work has been closely related to looking for better ways to deal with mental health issues.

This sentence failed verification and it will be hard to support this statement until someone covers the fact that CNN reverted the edits they made to their original news report. I did see the twitter post Ren made saying CNN made the correction to include that statement,. I never saw the corrected report, only the original, so it can't put a viewed date for the corrected version and they don't have an edit log like Wikipedia. I'm going to use Ren's post to support the statement for now since it is information he would be expected to know. If you have a better citation, please use it instead.. Kiwatts (talk) 07:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)


 * For clarification I was wrong about the fact that CNN video no longer contains Ren's statement and They reverted back to their original video. Ren also has his statement on his YouTube community tab https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx-23idnABxsyy5NACvFuUJj18ONKiyfCU and his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/renmakesmusic/posts/pfbid0opyvCwpxgEQ6hJoLofuq48XQKhyRrhX2aNVwebxoVQJEEfJGk1d7uYU4E1BcK1Uzl
 * I'm not sure of the protocol for addressing a failed citation tag. If I should have left it please let me know.. Kiwatts (talk) 07:52, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Just replace the failed citation with something better when you have it. The tag is like "citation needed". It shows that the statement needs sourcing, but has been left in the article because it is probably true. (Edit: looks like that is exactly what you did. All good). Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:07, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Can we use Ren's Twitter as a citation? I want to use it for his move to Brighton in 2013. In early Feb 2013 he says he is moving to Brighton in two weeks time. Then in March talks about how he likes living there. Dovonex (talk) 12:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Per WP:ABOUTSELF, it can be used as a source for statements people make about themselves. -- Jayron 32 13:07, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Reference 7 says non primary source needed. It isn't a primary source. It's a link to a genealogy website called Genes Reunited that has a database of the England & Wales Births 1837-2006. The title of the page that shows the search results is Ren Erin Gill - Births and Baptisms [1] - Genes Reunited but the information didn't actually come from him. It's from the National Database which is part of the public record. The citation generator provided the title. Should we change the title of the webpage so it's more obvious that the source isn't primary? Would this work? Births and Baptisms - Ren Erin Gill - Genes Reunited Kiwatts (talk) 19:51, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The genealogy site itself is not a great source owing to user generated content, but this record is fine because it is not user generated, it is a record from the register of births. So the information is perfectly reliable, but it is a primary source. The register of births is a primary source. It's not really a huge problem here. We could just remove the template. However, a secondary source might be a book that describes this information about him. You might wonder why that is better, when the book could, in fact, be wrong. But then, we could also wonder whether this record is for this Ren Gill or a different one! Not very likely as the name is unusual though. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:11, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I am confident that date is correct. He has actually stated that is his birthday in several posts and one of the videos for his song 1990 shows that date multiple times during the video although the time of day shown does vary every time it shown. I will be on the lookout for a better source.  Kiwatts (talk) 20:33, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * There are no other people born in the UK called Ren Erin Gill from 1837-2006, that is in the whole history of the register, that is released. So I guess it's him. :) I would say Genesreunited is a secondary source, they have a copy of the BDM Index as do many other websites, they are not accessing the government website to access the data, you literally have to go to their offices in London and transcribe it and of course it is secondary to the government as all the information they have has been given to them by his parents. There is no automatic registering of births in the UK. Plus as Kiwatts says Ren has stated his birthday on numerous occasions. Dovonex (talk) 22:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No it is a primary source. It is the information transcribed from the register. The fact that they do not hold the physical document is irrelevant. What you are seeing is a transcription of the primary source, and that is primary. But I don't have a problem with removing that template. The information is correct, supported by the source (primary or otherwise). While a secondary source would be great, there is no real doubt that this is a verified statement, so the template can go. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Jayron32 Thank you for removing the Notability template. I was almost through checking that all the citations were in order when half of the article was removed and some of the citations we had just timestamped.
 * I can't put citations for the remaining items that need them without it essentially being a revert. They deleted the birth registry citation, the the YouTube community page citation where Ren writes the month and day of his birth, all of the Justin Hawkins YouTube Interview timestamped citations from the Early life section. I was under the impression they were okay. was I wrong?
 * The Big Push section was removed and the two sources that the information was from were cited. I'm confused on that removal.
 * I agree with the discography change Kiwatts (talk) 09:21, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I also felt the Personal section was relevant. It covered the illness that impacted being signed with Sony and the suicide of his friend that impacted his view that there needs to be changes to the mental health industry.  Kiwatts (talk) 09:27, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The edits to the first paragraph that had he was a producer, busker, genres etc. had a secondary source so I am confused by this to. Kiwatts (talk) 09:31, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I take back the fact that it was cited. It should have been this citation. I thought that we the one I used. It should be this one. https://staticdive.com/2023/01/06/ren/ Kiwatts (talk) 10:30, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

The Big Push
Ren has said he would like to reunite the band and their statement on 31 Aug 2022 leaves it open. One member in van lifeing across Europe currently and he is in Calgary.

The post said

“The Big Push, for now, has come to the end of the road, logistically because of being in different countries, personal matters and the unpredictable and sometimes difficult nature of life it would be impossible to carry on and do it the justice it deserves.." It leaves the door open. Kiwatts (talk) 09:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Didn't he say he would not mind playing with the guys again? I guess it would be a case of what they will be doing in the future. Ren seems to be in Canada for at least the next 3 months and being as his career is taking off who knows if he will have time to be in the band again. Plus who knows where the other guys will be in the future. I just changed the Big Push section to past tense because at the moment they are not together and we don't know if they will be again. Have to wait and see. Dovonex (talk) 10:44, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Talking of his bands, should we give Trick the Fox their own small section? Some other editor was complaining that the early life and trick the fox section could be hard to understand for some people. There is more stuff to add about Trick the fox, if needed. Dovonex (talk) 10:47, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with the tense change. It makes sense. One of your editing comments said "past tense, maybe they will get back together?" It seemed like you were asking the question so I answered here. there isn't a way to answer in the history section.
 * As far as Early life and Trick the Fox, they were separate originally, but so much content was removed that only 1 sentence remained and when Sirfurboy reworked everything they combined them. Much of the content is back now and I will set it back up the way it used to be. I will have to do most of it later tonight but I did start.
 * At the time the entire entry for Ren was in danger of being deleted due to issues with notability. It was more important to focus on showing Ren was notable, not why certain portions were meaningful and should be included. There weren't a lot of sources back then and it was harder to show the importance of what was being removed because you can only use what has been written by someone else, you can't self report. It also wasn't clear why things were important because I hadn't finished writing the article when all this happened.. The fact that most of my material came directly from Ren, a primary source, was a big issue. The reasoning was If he was notable there should be secondary sources.  Read the Topics titled Massive Over citation and Notability and Notability and you will understand.
 * There are things I need to wait to add back until they are mentioned why they are important, like his mother being a vocal coach. Even if she didn't teach him, he probably absorbed the concepts without even realizing it. He is a sponge and it's why it all comes so naturally to him without even thinking. He studied vocals online by watching Chris Liepe's YouTube channel, and likely others, to help him perfect his craft. Kiwatts (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I see you changed the discovered when he was busking to when they were busking. I think in his Hawkins interview he said when he was busking. He certainly did busking on his own when he was in Bath because he mentions it on his Twitter, he also busked with the band. Not sure he mentions when he was discovered in the coffee with Ren youtube vid but it is a source for that statement now. Dovonex (talk) 19:56, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * He also mentioned it in Coffee with Ren and I believe I have other sources. I have to go right now but feel free to change it back until it's sorted out. The band was originally a duo. It wasn't until 15 June 2012 that Tom joined them. They recorded at Sanctuary studios. https://www.thesanctuarystudio.co.uk/trick-the-fox/ Kiwatts (talk) 20:06, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is Eric Appapoulay studio but did Ren record with the band there and by himself? Have to look into it. Dovonex (talk) 20:09, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Interesting thing in your link there, "The new two piece are Ren Gill & Charlie Fowler, Bath buskers with an amazing sound." Would suggest that they were discovered in Bath not Brighton? Dovonex (talk) 20:13, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, I scanned Trick the Fox facebook and it seems they were making an album and some of those tracks ended up on Ren's Album and even Jenny's Tale was recorded by them, which Ren released later by himself. So I guess they were both discovered busking in Bath and signed to Sony. Phew. :) Dovonex (talk) 20:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, did his solo career start in 2015 or 2010 when he was signed to Sony? He seems to have been recording an album without Trick the Fox because many of those songs he recorded with Sony ended up on the Freckled Angels album. Dovonex (talk) 20:07, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The Big Push statement quoted above, states personal issues, logistics and the general nature of life as the reasons for the break up. In the article it is put down to Ren's health issues. The source stated for that doesn't seem all that reliable as it has some false information in other parts (like Ren moving home to Brighton, not Wales, when he was very sick). So I don't think it is valid to state Ren's health issues as the only reason or even the main reason for the end of the band. Mackey79 (talk) 17:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I changed it to in part. The Big Push statement says personal issues, I would guess that would include Ren's illness, it also says logistics, again Ren is in Canada for his illness and the difficult nature of life could also be Ren's illness. As for the source, it is a kosher real magazine, it is a better source than 95% of the sources on the Ren wiki page, that it has incorrect information in it(going home to Brighton instead of Wales) is irrelevant as many other sources used on this page also have incorrect info in them. 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:C0BF:8F0A:9794:5E60 (talk) 17:43, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As you say yourself, you "would guess" the personal issues include Ren's health but that would still be guessing or assuming since they didn't specifically say so. And at least one of the other guys in the band has also been travelling so logistics is not just referring to Ren's trip to Canada. As Wikipedia is supposed to have encyclopaedic information, we shouldn't write anything based on our assumptions. And this is not a personal attack on your edits, just a reminder to check other sources for stuff said in magazine articles. They may have been making assumptions as well. Mackey79 (talk) 18:04, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I never wrote anything based on my assumptions. I included information from a real magazine in the article, like other people who edit wikipedia everyday do from various newspapers, magazine etc. No one said logistics was just referring to Ren, you assumed that. 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:C0BF:8F0A:9794:5E60 (talk) 18:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Every magazine article is still not necessarily a reliable source. The Fahrenheit article doesn't mention the writer or any sources for the info. It is definitely not based on speaking directly with Ren so it looks like it was put together from various Internet sources, probably including this Wikipedia site. So the writer may have assumed that Ren's health was one of the reasons (which may be true but the band or Ren haven't said so). Mackey79 (talk) 18:25, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I really wasn't going to work on the article anymore but I will give you a source that lines up more closely with the bands actual post.

 * "The Big Push, for now has come to the end of the road, logistically because of being in different countries, personal matters and the unpredictable and sometimes difficult nature of life it would be impossible to carry on and do it the justice it deserves."
 * The break up isn't because his illness symptoms/ health issues are causing the Big Push to break up like they did with Trick the Fox. The illness itself didn't make it physically hard for him to continue preforming. It would be more accurate to say Ren is in Canada. That lines up with being in different countries.
 * Every one is assuming the personal matters are Ren's health. The trip to Canada was planned 2 years before he went and he was publicly talking about it and had a go Fund me started long before the break up. The personal matters might actually apply to one of the other three band members.
 * I would leave out saying anything directly about it being about his health. It is just like the Sony dumping him issue. Plus readers will jump to their own conclusions but you don't need to do it for them. Just because someone said it and others repeat it doesn't mean it's accurate. Also, it's better to let the reader form their own opinion instead of giving them one.
 * It would be best to say -
 * In 2022 they announced their next concert would be their last and said being in different countries, personal matters,and the vagaries of life were the reasons why.
 * This is the article to cite https://www.themusicman.uk/the-big-push/
 * This is also from the article. You can mention the last time they played together. Then you wouldn't need to start with In 2022.
 * The Big Push busked together on the streets of Brighton for the last time on 14 Dec 2022. Ren and Romain Axisa have subsequently released solo songs, which can be found on The Big Push Facebook page and on streaming services. Kiwatts (talk) 20:41, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * From your link: They cited being in different countries, personal matters (Ren suffers from Lyme disease) and the vagaries of life. 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:C0BF:8F0A:9794:5E60 (talk) 20:55, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I know. I did read it. That is why I said to leave out saying anything directly about his health. The parentheses indicates it wasn't part of the original statement. In this case it's the author's assumption, Just like everyone assuming and writing he went home to Brighton when he was so sick he was bedridden. Just because people put their own spin on things and write about it doesn't mean it's accurate.
 * Remember the Biography guidelines. We have the original statement and know that someone has put their own opinion in. We know it might not be accurate much like other things that are written. Do perpetuate opinions that might not be accurate. They may be but they also may not be. That is when you leave it out.
 * We don't want to use the original statement as a source. There is a secondary source. (I tried using it long ago and it was removed so don't try putting it back. That will be a problem just like when you added all the discography back that had been removed.)   Kiwatts (talk) 21:42, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Don't you think that Ren moving to Canada because of his health issues has something to do with the Big Push breaking up? Anyway I don't see a problem with what I put in the article and I even changed it a bit and it is secondary sourced to an actual real magazine not a blog. 2A02:C7D:B780:6300:C0BF:8F0A:9794:5E60 (talk) 22:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
