This article has some instances of promotional/hype language/passages that are not properly referenced by verifiable, independent sources WP:VERIFY. I have noted where. One instance was sourced to a link to 'Hot Press' which required the reader to pay a 20 euro subscription fee in order to access the article. Obviously this is not an acceptable reference. As there is a large amount of good sourcing in this article I have decided not to put a 'citation needed' notice on the article but I would urge this language to be removed, or source properly to keep this article in line with WIKI standards. Some articles that will help include: WP:NPOV and WP:W2W. Tjcam (talk) 09:26, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Upon further investigation into the article and the sources provided, I discovered a few of the references were actually used twice but had different titles added. This leads me to think they couldn't find enough reliable sources to actually back up some of the claims. Furthermore, I have removed links that directly linked to the article subject's own record label website. And now there's been a few links removed as well that linked to articles that had no reference to Little at all (the jazzwise magazine add simply linked to their homepage). What's left is an article that has a good amount of promotional tone and hype language and certain passages need sourcing (especially the claim that leading periodicals such as MOJO, deemed his album 'popular'). Therefore I have added the citation needed tag. Tjcam (talk) 10:14, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After trying to help clean up some of the claims mentioned above, I was unable to find these sources. Investigating further I see this article was up for deletion and there was suspicion of COI. After spending good time on this article today trying to clean it up, I believe it is still border-lining on a promotional piece for the article's subject, rather than a neutral article. The main concerns are the claims that major periodicals (which I cannot verify hopefully someone can?) have made these claims in favor of the album/music/David's career.
