Comment: This is probably close to being acceptable. There are three WP:INDEPENDENT sources, however, I note that they are all dated within a four day period and address the subject in context of the same topic. It may, therefore, not pass WP:BLP1E in the absence of other sources addressing the subject within a different context. Chetsford (talk) 05:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: No significant (ie: in-depth, detailed) coverage in reliable independent secondary sources (per WP:GNG). Several assertions unsupported by inline citations of reliable sources. Paul W (talk) 12:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
