Draft:Eamon Lui-Fakaotimanava

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Thanks for adding more sources! Unfortunately, as far as I can tell they don't demonstrate Lui-Fakaotimanava's notability as an individual - they're all either not independent or they only discuss him in the context of the NZ team as a whole. If you have independent sources which specifically discuss Lui-Fakaotimanava, that would be a huge help here. Turnagra (talk) 09:17, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
