Sourcing
Please don't use Twitter or Tumblr to support statements about people. See WP:USERG which cuts out social media posts.

Discogs.com also fails WP:USERG because anyone can log in and change the facts.

Inflooenz.com is a web scraper site with unreliable automated results. A named human music writer must be making the connection between bands.

If you're comparing bands, musicians or music, you can't cite YouTube, Apple Music, or any other online source for the song. It must be a WP:SECONDARY source making the comparison explicitly, signed by a music writer. Binksternet (talk) 22:55, 10 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The reference from Tumblr is a self-published blog of Brian Cook's record collection. It's his own blog. So how else would I confirm someone is influenced by a band? 2/3 of the Apple Music links are playlists submitted by the musicians themselves, not chosen by a third party, so do they qualify?
