Comment: Unclear that this person meets WP:GNG. Mainly routine industry reporting of career as film executive, then citations relating to role with Mucha Foundation (so not independent sources). Ref 1 appears to be an interview (WP:IV; limited reliability). Is there any significant coverage of Marcus Mucha in reliable, independent, secondary sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking? Paul W (talk) 11:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
