I've nominated this for Good Article for hopes of feedback and getting some recognition for it. The peer review didn't generate any user feedback aside from automated feedback.

==Good article nominee==
I would pass this as a good article but it has two major problems: (1) The second lead paragraph is totally POV. ] (2) The "Influence" section in only one paragraph, and really should be merged with the Early Years section, since it is expansion (and retread) or that topic.--] 18:04, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

==date format==
according to the manual of style the birthdate should be in () like:
*Serena Williams (born September 26, 1981)
Course it's pretty dorky to read:
*Sasha, born Alexander Coe (born September 4, 1969), is a Welsh DJ
What about:
*Alexander Coe (AKA Sasha) (born September 4, 1969), is a Welsh DJ

I think the way it is written now would imply Sasha is his legal name which I don't think you've indicated, and is it more normally dj sasha or just sasha? The disambigulation page implies dj sasha.

BTW amazing work with the article so far. thanks. --] 19:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Most often in articles I've read, CDs/records, and such, he is almost always referred to as "Sasha" as opposed to "DJ Sasha".

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic ], and <font color="red">may or may not be accurate</font> for the article in question.
*<s>Per ], there should be a non-breaking space - <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of ''18mm'', use ''18&nbsp;mm'', which when you are editing the page, should look like: <tt>18&amp;nbsp;mm</tt>.<ref name="nbsp">See footnote</ref></s>
*Per ] and ], years with full dates should be linked; for example, link ], ], but do not link January 2006.<ref name="linkdate">See footnote</ref>
*<s>Watch for ] that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's ].)</s>
**<s>While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 15 additive terms, a bit too much.</s>
**<s>Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “<font color='red'><s>All</s></font> pigs are pink, so we thought of <font color='red'><s>a number of</s></font> ways to turn them green.”</s>
*<s>As done in ], footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the ], but not mandatory), such that there is no space inbetween. For example, ''the sun is larger than the moon .'' is usually written as ''the sun is larger than the moon.''</s>

*Yes, I did write it after reading a few books. And online articles. And listening to Sasha's music for the past 10 years. I did fix the line in question - I can see how it was misleading. Collins was clearly popular before any influence from Sasha, which is why Collins is described as "already popular". As for whether or not Sasha in fact had an influence on Collins, I suggest you take that up with Bill Brewster, who wrote the book I got that from. ] 16:27, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

**No, I don't at this point. It's already better than some articles that have recently been on the front page. However, if it appears I still object, because I didn't strike through the correct line, feel free to correct via strike throughs on the FAC page as needed. You still have some work to do, I will post comments, but I enjoyed the article, it's well-written, it's researched properly, it's neutral, the language is rich, the topic is the right scope for an article, and, most amazing! and proper!, you quoted words and phrases that you used from other sources, absolutely necessary, but not always properly done in a lot of Misplaced Pages articles. ] 20:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

== Sasha's singles ==

Just wondering, for a DJ who's been out since 1989, Sasha should have more singles than the ones put in this article. I'm struggling to find some more of him, but I'm not having any luck. I was wondering if I could have some assistance. Thanks. ] 13:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
*The discography is only a ''selected'' discography - this means that not all of Sasha's singles are listed here, just the major ones. Otherwise the discography section would be pretty large and not as useful for finding the important releases. Anyways, has pretty comprehensive listing of Sasha's releases. However, Sasha really doesn't have that many singles - I only count a few more than a dozen. He has however done a lot of remix work. ] 14:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

– ''Note: There is currenly ] about moving ] to ].''

Okay here we go. Hello, I think that these articles might not have the right titles. Please add suggestions following my justification for this.

Firstly, I would like to counter use of "Welsh". I believe that the country here is considered to be the United Kingdom, as that is the country that Wales is part of, so the nationality should be British, not Welsh or English. <small>''See also my move request at ]''</small>. The articles also both describe Sasha as British in their opening sentences, and he is subjectively better known for working within England and around the UK, though this may be deemed a null point as it does not define nationality. So to summarise, a potential better title would be '''Sasha (British DJ)'''.

However, there may be no need for nationality disambiguation at all, and that's where I tie ] into this. It has recently been moved per my request away from Sasha (Jamaican DJ). <small>''See the request at ]''</small>. In short, a Jamaican ] and ] are ''not'' the same thing, and labelling her as a DJ is inaccurate and confusing for readers. However, I went by what the article was formerly titled to arrive at the conclusion that I did, but it may not be correct. So that's when I ask, what ''is'' she?

So this is the part when I rope in yet more Sashas into this. So as the note at the top says, ] (whose stage name is also simply Sasha), is also in discussion for move, to a title better suited to ]. <small>''See the discussion at ]''</small>. My initial idea was, of course, to name him Sasha (singer). But as an editor rightfully pointed out, this would have readers confuse him with ], a Russian singer. So whilst not technically needed, the reader-friendly disambiguated title for him would be Sasha (German singer). (This is not relative to this current move, sorry if it's confusing. See ] for help).

That then leads me on to think... Sasha (Jamaican deejay) is also a singer, so if we were to be consistent, shouldn't we title her article '''Sasha (Jamaican singer)''' too? But ] says to use (singer) if they are known exclusively for singing, which may not be the case. So, following SINGERDAB, '''Sasha (Jamaican musician)''' may be more appropriate. SINGERDAB also states to only use one of the provided disambiguation tags, of which (deejay) is not one of them, so should not be used. It states to use (DJ) if the subject is known for DJing, which as mentioned before, it not the case here so should not be left an option. But I am undecided on the ideal title for (Jamaican deejay), so suggestions would be appreciated.

This brings me back to Sasha (Welsh DJ). I think that, ideally, this article should be titled '''Sasha (DJ)''', which currently redirects here. If (Jamaican deejay) is moved to a better title, readers should not confuse her with (Welsh DJ). However, either way, I think that (Welsh DJ) is the ] of Sasha (DJ). He is the first result for "Sasha DJ" on google with nobody else showing up for multiple pages. His article is also the longest here, not to mention that this is a featured article. He is also the only real DJ out of all of them, anyway. So I have made my earlier points regarding nationality, but this is the title I believe to be ideal for this article. However it may depend on other articles being moved and I would like to keep it open to ideas.

Of course, the disambiguation of his discography article should be changed depending on what the final decided title of (Welsh DJ) will be.

I hope that we reach a good consensus on this, Thank you. <b>]]</b> 23:35, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

*'''Leave Welsh DJ where he is''' - but on the Jamaican deejay, not sure about this, since although she's a singer now, she was a singer-deejay when she had hits. ] (]) 06:48, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
*'''Support all''' - Both DJ and deejay may be different in meaning but the purpose is to not confuse readers, thus these two terms should be considered the same since they are often used interchangeably in popular culture. ] should be moved to ] (because per the naming convention for music, "musician" is used as a ] for someone who has multiple roles such as singer, DJ, producer, etc), with the former title becoming a redirect to the new title (this is to be consistent so that only "DJ" is used in titles per ]). I concur that nationality-wise, Sasha is British since Wales is a part of the United Kingdom and Welsh may not be recognized in the ], thus British as a disambiguator sounds better. This person seems to be the primary topic for DJs who are named Sasha since the page view ratio for Welsh-Jamaican is about 15:1 and the Welsh has a higher significance in the music industry than the Jamaican (won numerous awards and a Grammy nomination). Support moving ] to ] (with a hatnote about the Jamaican).

::'''Support'''. Agreed, thanks for the input. Sasha (Jamaican musician) would be an ideal title as it would encompass singing and deejaying, which satisfies the point made by {{ping|In ictu oculi}}; that they were known for deejaying/singing but they are a singer now - "musician" would include all of this, and allow for Sasha (DJ) to exist without confusing readers.

*'''Comment''' The discussion at ] has concluded. The result was:

:It would make sense to keep the Sasha's consistent, and ] → ] would make sense. I think ] could stay as it is without causing any confusion, but if ] is not a nationality then moving is an option. &mdash; ] (]/]) 11:07, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
::I don't see why we need the nationality for Welsh DJ. He is the first google search result for , but obviously is not the primary topic for "Sasha" due to how many entries and other performers there are, but certainly is the primary topic for "Sasha (DJ)". He is the only DJ with the name Sasha, and the most significant out of the musicians (Grammy nominated/other awards won, ). Point is, he is ''the'' DJ, not ''the Welsh'' DJ. "Sasha (DJ)" has always redirected to the article (except for when it was the title) with the hatnote serving well for the apparent confused users, who would not be using the term "DJ" to search for the Jamaican singer/musician/deejay anyway. The nationality would lead people to assume that there are multiple DJs called Sasha, which is untrue. But there are multiple singers and musicians named Sasha, so the nationality is needed for them. So I think the redirect should be swapped with the article title. The nationality may be ], but it is simply not needed. <b>]]</b> 16:18, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
:::I don't feel strongly that either is much better. The Jamaican is also a DJ (or at least is a 'deejay' which appear to be the same thing), so there are two DJ's called Sasha with articles. But the Welsh/British one is the primary topic regardless making the point moot (but a hatnote as there is now). If there is any confusion over whether 'Welsh' is suitable disambiguator, then it's not a suitable disambiguator because the the title should be both ] and ]. It does not look like ] is necessarily either of these. &mdash; ] (]/]) 18:31, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
::::Yes, I see your points. I will only comment that (as I said previously) a ] is not the same as a ] - a deejay is a reggae or dancehall musician who sings on a track (the artcle even has a hatnote saying ''Not to be confused with disc jockey''). <b>]]</b> 23:30, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

However, he is simply not qualified to be the primary topic of ] due to how many entries there are of this name, and the fact that it is also a given name.

"Sasha passed the entrance exam for Hatfield College at age 17. However, he did not like Epsom and left before completing his A-Level examinations."
== Nationality ==


Problems: The source doesn't mention Hatfield College or Epsom: it says he moved to ] age 11 and back to Wales age 17. There is no Hatfield College in ]. There was a "Hatfield Technical College"/"Hatfield College of Technology" at Hatfield in Hertfordshire, a long way from either Epsom or Maidenhead, and ] is part of the university.
Since we obviously cannot agree on something so minor, here is the space in which to debate.
He is undeniably British. The title of his article was the main talking point into his nationality. It was Sasha (Welsh DJ) and it was changed because they thought that it didn't seem to be fitting as nothing Welsh points to him, otherwise why would they bother changing it? Also the Welsh being a Celtic nation means nothing unless you have a source to say that he is of the Celtic Welsh nation. He is undeniably British, but arguably Welsh. When his page title was changed it remained 'British' way until Lazz R changed it to 'Welsh' unsourced. Now let's put this to bed today. ] (]) 15:58, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
:The page title was changed after it was established that no disambiguation was needed because the Jamaican DJ named Sasha was found to not be notable. No conclusions were sought or reached in that discussion with regard to whether or not this Sasha is or is not Welsh. He is indeed British, in the sense that that is what appears on his passport, but his birth and his origin was in Wales. In general, when birth and origin in a specific region of the British Commonwealth is known, that location is used in the lead rather than "British" (as you well know, since you have changed multiple articles to reflect this practice). <span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT, Arial, Helvetica; font-weight:140;">]</span> <sup>] </sup> 16:27, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
::A quote from supporting changing the article title; "Support as generally argued in the RM above the 'Welsh' part of the disambiguator is not desirable as it is unclear if 'Welsh' represents a nationality or not." It is clear that part of this argument was about his Welshness. You talk about his birth and origin being Welsh, but since when does birthplace (the soil where his parents happened at the time) equate to his nationality? Graham Coxon was born in Germany, does that mean he is German? No he is English as stated in his Misplaced Pages article, same with Christian Bale (born in Wales but he is not Welsh) Julian Cope (born in Wales, but he is English), Greg Davies (Welsh-born but considers himself English), Ian Hislop (born in Swansea but described as English, nothing Welsh about him). And yes very true, I have kept up this practice and am very happy to do so, but considering Sasha's Welshness is up for debate and his categories describe him as British and that there is nothing really Welsh about him, what is one left to describe him as other than an objective non-disputed (ironic I know) term? ] (]) 16:39, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

FA in need of review

This older FA on a living person has not been reviewed since its promotion in 2007.

  • The article does not comprehensively cover the artist's work that came out after the article's promotion (there are only single-mentions of Invol2ver, Involv3r and Scene Delete in the article. There is coverage out there of these works).
  • The article is also very dated for a BLP-FA:
  • now regularly receives - 2006 source;
  • These tracks...are edited by Sasha - 2006 source;
  • Sasha runs a music studio and lives in New York City, and maintains a house in London. - 2004 source
  • Sasha attributes his success to his technical skill and ability to "connect with his dancers". - 2000 source. --> In a 2000 interview, Sasha attributed...
  • There are so few links dated after 2008 in the article, you'd think the artist retired a decade ago. From a Google search:

... The article needs an update to reflect ongoing coverage of the artist. RetiredDuke (talk) 14:57, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Comment

The date of birth needs a proper reference. Allmusic, Discogs, etc, aren't generally considered reliable sources. Deb (talk) 10:12, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Hatfield College

"Sasha passed the entrance exam for Hatfield College at age 17. However, he did not like Epsom and left before completing his A-Level examinations."

Problems: The source doesn't mention Hatfield College or Epsom: it says he moved to Maidenhead age 11 and back to Wales age 17. There is no Hatfield College in Epsom. There was a "Hatfield Technical College"/"Hatfield College of Technology" until 1969 at Hatfield in Hertfordshire, a long way from either Epsom or Maidenhead, and Hatfield College, Durham is part of the university.

So this couple of sentences doesn't really make any sense as far as I can see. PamD 15:15, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
