Comment: fails WP:NARTIST. Theroadislong (talk) 09:07, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The sources are all primary and therefore unable to establish notability per WP:GNG, and I don't see anything here that would obviously satisfy WP:ARTIST either. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:31, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Almost all of these references lead to 404 errors and appear to be hallucinated. MCE89 (talk) 03:58, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
