Thank you for nominating this article for GA, and I'm sorry that it has gone so long without being reviewed! Unfortunately, I am going to have to autofail, as this article is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria. In particular, I'm looking at criteria 2, which states that a good article is:

Verifiable with no original research:

it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);
it contains no original research; and
it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.

My primary concern is that there are large portions of this article which are completely unreferenced, including entire paragraphs. I am also concerned about the reliability of the sources presented. Seven of the 27 citations are to Twitter, which is acceptable for the information on Blue's personal life, per WP:BLPSELFPUB, but should not be used in place of other reliable, independent sources on matters like music releases. Because these are issues that are so pervasive that they could not be fixed in a timely manner, I am going to fail this article, but please feel free to take my advice and re-nominate in the future, once the sourcing has been improved. — Ghost River 01:35, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
