• Comment: One additional thing; interviews with him don't contribute to notability, since they aren't independent of the subject. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 19:03, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Can't find several sources. If they exist, please provide them or make them easier to find. Using generic names like "The Irish Times – coverage of Chris Jenkins" makes it difficult to properly verify what you are sourcing. Ideally, you should be providing at least the url, but things like the title, author, and date of publication help. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 19:02, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
