I agree. No one has complained in 7 years, but it continues to be a possible copyvio. Hoverfish Talk 22:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

Some of the references look dubious. The text "In 2021, Smith was inducted in the Royal Swedish Academy of Music's Swedish Musical Heritage project as a "living musical heritage" of Sweden" is supported by this website, which is a primary source but also doesn't seem to do more than list Smith's name, and say (via Google translate) "There are no works by the composer registered". There are also 12 references to Discogs, which Perennial Sources describes as generally unreliable. Wondering if article should be cut back to only what can be better referenced.
