Only the 2011 participation appears to be sourced for Matti Matt, also why is Sjonni's Friends listed as additional after his 2011 participation has already been mentioned when that is basically what it was?

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; one thing I didn't mention above because it is consistent is why do you variate between Daði Freyr and Daði og Gagnamagnið, also shouldn't his surname be used after the first mention?
Thanks for picking this one up! I believe I've now fixed all the prose aspects of the article, and have swapped out and added new refs where appropriate. Please do take a look at these to make sure they pass your criteria for inclusion. I've left one or two things for now just to explain my thinking, typically where you consider these WP:OVERLINK.
On the difference between Daði Freyr and Daði og Gagnamagnið, as these are two different concepts (Daði being the frontman of the band Gagnamagnið essentially) I have left both links for now in the lead and further down the article as I think it's important to differentiate between the individual Daði Freyr and the band of six people he performs in. Potentially a solution to this could be, as with Stefán Hilmarsson above, to add the link directly to Daði og Gagnamagnið (which redirects to a section on the Daði Freyr article).
For the overlinking in the competing entries table, my thinking was to have the first instance of each article in each column linked. That would cover Daði Freyr, Dimma (band), as well as a few other instances in the table would be linked on the first instance in the artist column and then again in the songwriter(s) column. So you can see that Daði Freyr Pétursson in the songwriter(s) column has been linked for Daði og Gagnamagnið's entry but not for Elísabet's.
Finally, on your point around variating between Daði Freyr and Daði og Gagnamagnið, as I said the man is different from the group, but also Pétursson is not Daði Freyr's surname, but rather his patronymic as part of the Icelandic naming system, so I've aimed to be consistent in using his first name Daði where it makes sense, and then first name and surname Daði Freyr in other instances.
I would say that you don't need to use his full name in the after Eurovision section, as he is both the only and previosu Daði to be mentioned by this point. --K. Peake07:01, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to continue to make changes as a result of any of the points above, or if you notice anything in my other changes as part of the review. Let me know what I can do to push this over the line. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:07, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've now also added, as suggested, some additional information to the lead, including some of the alternative contests. Please do review and suggest any changes as required.
Additional points I forgot to mention above as well: Matti Matt's participation in 2011 was twofold, as he participated as a solo artist and also as part of Sjonni's Friends, hence the double mention for 2011; and the Austrian contest date of 14 May is included in the Wiwibloggs article, but I can source additional sites if needed.
