Comment: Likely going to meet WP:GNG but the sources are unreliable. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think this is quite there yet - still COI/promotional concerns and not convinced this would be kept at AfD. I would add an additional article or two that's not an interview and remove information about his business. SportingFlyer T·C 13:38, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: See WP:COI.WP:External links need to be removed. All statements need to be sourced (by sources that actually verify the statements, unlike some here), or removed. Greenman (talk) 12:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
