Biography, tagged as unsourced since August 2010, a monography which reads like an agent's blurb. Guy (Help!) 10:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Just because the article is tagged as unsourced does not mean it is unsourced. The bbc external link is clearly a reliable source for the information in the article and I have converted it into an inline citation. It is clear that John David has contributed significantly to the success of some notable music, several songs reaching the top 10 of UK popular music charts.Polyamorph (talk) 13:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Per my comment above, BLP was not unreferenced, the citation just wasn't formatted correctly. John David clearly meets notability guidelines as one of the most successful Welsh songwriters who has in the past been influencial in the success of many high profile artists.Polyamorph (talk) 13:18, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
