Comment: This is probably notable per WP:NPROF on account of the named chair, but I cannot access the first two sources, therefore I cannot verify the contents of the entire 'Early life' section. There appears to be also no source supporting the DOB, which must be either referenced or removed. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:20, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- I removed the birthdate and archived those two sources. I agree this qualifies per PROF. I appreciate your time!. Legally Texan (talk) 21:56, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
