Comment: I'm sorry, I do not see how this person meets notability. He is not notable just as father of a notable person. Qcne (talk) 11:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Unfortunately, this draft does not appear to meet notability guidelines. The first three sources are generally considered unreliable, and the remaining three do not demonstrate significant coverage of the subject, with only a brief mention. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 03:07, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
