Comment: It was very disappointing to look at the draft of a subject who is very likely to be notable with such poor referencing. You have found many references which mention hm, but none which are about him. Putting more than one trivial reference to a single fact does not cunt. And some sections have no references for many facts. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 10:10, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Wikipedia subjects need in-depth coverage (full-length articles, not just passing mentions) in usually at least 3 reliable sources that are not written by or affiliated with the subject. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 06:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Fails WP:NSOLDIER - reads like a personal biography, with unsourced trivia, like "He is an avid reader and likes golf and running." Fails to establish what he is notable for.... Dan arndt (talk) 05:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
