  • Comment: awards are not notable and "focuses on merging practicality with his signature design ethos, with an emphasis on sustainability" is most definitely not neutral tone. Theroadislong (talk) 11:30, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please carefully read WP:NPOV and do not re-submit until you have understood what sort of language is appropriate on Wikipedia. There is still little improvement in the tone of this advert masquerading as an article. Qcne (talk) 20:38, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: "his career soared, providing him opportunities to exhibit his collections on the prestigious runways" ... "has made a significant impact on the fashion scene" Lopifalko (talk) 17:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: are any of the awards notable? There is also some inappropriate tone here, "began his journey in design", "foray into fashion""Following this initial success, his career soared" "David's journey has come full circle " etc etc. Theroadislong (talk) 15:01, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
