  • Comment: Most of what is here is uncited. There are also style problems, but those can be fairly easily corrected. The main thing is that every statement of fact must be cited to a third-party source -- especially the awards. This does not guarantee that the person will be eventually determined to be notable -- that remains to be seen. LaMona (talk) 05:09, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
