Comment: Almost none of the references given are about Nyugen - they are just links to the organisation mentioned. Of the ones that do mention him - #1 is his Google Scholar profile; #2 is his own website; #3 is his Amazon author page; #21-25 are his own publications. These are not independent secondary sources.
