FA in need of review
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:
- Template:Tq - 2006 source;
- Template:Tq - 2006 source;
- Template:Tq - 2004 source
- Template:Tq - 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 Guardian, 2016;
- Iconic Underground Magazine, 2019;
- DJ Mag, 2018;
- TimeOut, 2016;
- Channel4, 2018;
- Billboard, 2016;
- Billboard, 2017;
- Billboard, 2016;
- Mixmag, 2016;
- DJ Mag, 2017;
- Mixmag, 2017 - apparently he is so big he has recent coverage such as "10 iconic Sasha moments", where is named as "The original superstar DJ";
- Hero, 2017
- Superstar DJs here we go!, D Phillips, 2009
- Life After Dark: A History of British Nightclubs & Music Venues, D Haslam, 2015
... The article needs an update to reflect ongoing coverage of the artist. RetiredDuke (talk) 14:57, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Comment
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)
Hatfield College
"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)
