- Comment: Something's gone awry with the sourcing in a way that feels very LLM-y to me. Smallangryplanet (talk) 18:24, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

- Comment: Subject may be notable, but draft needs addition of multiple citations to cover assertions made in the first two paragraphs (only the final sentence of the second paragraph is supported by a reference). Sources should be reliable independent and secondary with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking. Please also consider use of subheadings (eg: Early life and education, Career, etc) to create sections in the body of the article. Paul W (talk) 10:48, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
