: There are currently 23 references in the draft. I have checked a sample of six of them. None of those six was significant coverage in an independent source; they included sites associated with "Optigram" in one way or another (e.g. a business exhibiting his work), interviews with him, etc. Can you list three references which contain substantial coverage in ''independent'' reliable sources? If you can, that will be useful evidence of notability. [[User:JBW|JBW]] ([[User talk:JBW|talk]]) 10:48, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
::Two of the most substantial features on his work do still incorporate interview quotes from him. I guess that's inevitable when the subject is alive. They are a 4-page printed feature in the German magazine, Groove (reference number 2 on the Optigram page); and a feature in Resident Advisor which includes a lot of commentary on his work (reference number 3). Reference number 21 from HardFormat only includes commentary and does not include any interview content, but it is a shorter feature.
::Reference number 9 is a published book by the Design Museum to coincide with their exhibition, but there is no online version of the book https://designmuseumshop.com/products/electronic-from-kraftwerk-to-the-chemical-brothers-exhibition-catalogue. I would imagine that you'd have to pass a pretty high bar to have your work featured in a major institution such as London’s Design Museum and I felt that in itself would show notability.
::When I first started considering writing a Wikipedia article for Optigram I did actually look at three existing entries about other designers whose work was shown in the same exhibition, and used the kinds of references that were used in those entries as a guide to what was acceptable. They were all references that either included interview content; were by institutions displaying their work; or were brief mentions that simply verified a fact. So I'm not sure I understand why those kinds of references aren't acceptable in this instance. [[User:ModalNode|ModalNode]] ([[User talk:ModalNode|talk]]) 12:50, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
