Comment: This is right on the edge. The WFYI reference is good for establishing coverage in RS *about* Thornton. Some of the other references (an author bio on HuffPost, a Q&A on a citizen journalism site, a tickets purchasing page, etc.) fail to do that. If we could have one or two others like WFYI it would probably establish WP:N. Chetsford (talk) 07:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
