There is zero reason to have (what appears to be) every single production Bidlo has ever done. If it's not sourced by independent source (i.e. not the gallery where it was held) I think it should be removed. The article is primarily about Bidlo, remember.

• {{u|Primefac}}, you were right in 2016, and you're still right now. I've templated the article for obvious reasons. Much of the content can again be cut--it's been four years and little attempt has been made to provide sources. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:01, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
