... and was the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in November. Was what position?
It was not until Holly died that many fans became aware of his marriage. Stray sentences are deprecated in the

Contrary to popular belief, teenagers John Lennon and Paul McCartney did not attend a Holly concert, although they watched his television appearance on Sunday Night at the London Palladium; Tony Bramwell, a school friend of McCartney and George Harrison, did. Bramwell met Holly, and freely shared his records with all three. Needs a rewrite for clarity.
In 1992, Pickering approached Viceroy Records to arrange a deal for major nationwide distribution of these overdubbed recordings, who hit a brick wall when MCA made it clear that Pickering did not have proper legal clearance to release such recordings. Who hit?
The Lead does not fully summarise the article as per
WP:LEAD.
... produced by Jack Hansen, with added backing vocals by the Ray Charles Singers in simulation of an authentic Crickets record.[citation needed] Tag needs addressing.
Between the 1959–60 Jack Hansen overdubs, the 1960s Norman Petty overdubs, various alternate takes, and Holly's undubbed originals, collectors can often choose from multiple versions of the same song. Looks like an opinion or OR. If someone said that, cite it.
Style This section is completely unreferenced.
I have placed a number of further citation needed tags where statements are completely unreferenced.
It is broad in its coverage.

Film and musical depictionsBuddy – The Buddy Holly Story is also a rather successful stage musical which is still touring world-wide.
The article needs a section on reception, both critical and fan based.

Pass/Fail:
There is a lot of unreferenced material here, also missing sections on criticism / reception. Many of the suggestions made by SilkTork have not been acted upon. I suggest reworking the article, take it to
WP:Peer review for further comment before renominating.

"a lot of unreferenced material here" - I see "citation needed" all over the place yet I have easily cross-referenced a few by quickly looking at, for example, the Beatles page. I'm not any good at this, so someone else should remove these and add the proper references rather than defacing the article and asking for references when they are easily found on related pages.
