Comment: Did another WP:BEFORE. No real WP:SECONDARY coverage after 4 attempts. The refs that are junk. scope_creepTalk 08:52, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The subject of an article must either meet the criteria for presumed notability OR meet the general notability requirements, refer WP:BIO, WP:ANYBIO. General notability requires significant coverage of the subject in multiple (more than two) independent (ie not connected with the subject) reliable, secondary sources. Refer also WP:42. - MmeMaigret (talk) 10:01, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Insufficient WP:SECONDARY sourcing needed for a WP:BLP to prove the person is notable. Lots of primary sources. Profiles aren't reliable as a source. Lulu is a self-published source and should be removed. Its really fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creepTalk 04:14, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
