Note done: It doesn't seem clear from the sources that the subject 'is known for' what is being claimed, as opposed to that he simply did it. Also, having 'tweeted the most' in mid-2023 is a piece of non-encyclopaedic trivia. The other item proposed for inclusion claims 'media coverage' when the issue seems simply to have been reported. So, to conclude, the material is all either promotional or trivial and thus isn't worthy of inclusion. The article is a stub, but the bar is still the same for material to be included.
