Requesting feedback: Stevie Stiletto and the Switchblades draft

Hi all — I’ve been working on a draft for Draft:Stevie Stiletto and the Switchblades, a punk band from Jacksonville, Florida that was active from the early 1980s through the 2000s.

The draft was previously declined, but I’ve now addressed the feedback by: – Adding inline citations with reliable third-party sources (Folio Weekly, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, peer-reviewed academic publications) – Removing promotional tone – Adding an infobox and proper formatting – It’s now marked as a “Promising draft”

Would anyone here be willing to take a look or offer suggestions? I'd really appreciate any help moving this toward approval.

Thanks! Albieabbiati Albieabbiati (talk) 17:23, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Seeking Advice on Barbara Gogan Article

Hi all,

I’m a new editor working on the Barbara Gogan article—she was the lead of The Passions. The article is currently under deletion discussion (AfD), and I’m hoping to improve it with reliable sources and better coverage.

If anyone has advice on how to strengthen the article even more or knows strong sources I could use, I would really appreciate it. This has been a fun project so far, and I’m learning a lot!

Thanks so much for any guidance, Adrian :) Adrian.stewart.music (talk) 16:15, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
