Paul Buchanan is unarguably one of Scotland's most important songwriters. His solo work is highly acclaimed. The Wikipedia article for the band he co-founded, The Blue Nile, is mature and informative, but the band no longer exist and last recorded almost two decades ago. Buchanan has an extensive body of work which is of historical note of itself. Buchanan is, for a performer of note, reclusive and so there is relatively little information in the public domain about him (without original research), but this should not prevent a standalone article. This article, once extant, is likely to be developed over time to form an important reference on the subject of a personality who is both a historical and contemporary figure in Scottish culture. His renown extends well beyond Scotland, of course. Emmentalist (talk) 18:38, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

This article has become poorly structured. Quite a lot of useful links have been inserted to improve it, but there are great swathes of stuff apparently cut and pasted in about The Blue Nile from other sources, including the Wikipedia article on the band, which has made it look like a duplicate article rather than one specifically on Paul Buchanan. There's lots of repetition. The lead is too long and contains too much information about Blue Nile: meanwhile, the Blue Nile article is already linked. I think it needs a big edit. I don't wish to take out a lot of material all of a sudden but the article really needs it. I'll leave this here for a week or so to see if there are any other comments, then make a big edit.Emmentalist (talk) 08:43, 30 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
