Comment: Need significant in-depth coverage about him. General profiles and interviews are not enough. Also, press releases or other information coming from the company, including their website are not reliable sources. S0091 (talk) 15:37, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: I think he might pass general notability given what I've found online. The article is promotional, however, and needs cleaning up. PK650 (talk) 22:43, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
