Comment: Same as previous rejections. See WP:PRIMARY for why primary sources alone are not sufficient. Praxidicae (talk) 00:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Honestly there are way too many primary sources. Try finding more media coverage and not just from uni websites as a source VKZYLUFan (talk) (Mind the Gap!) 11:18, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: There's been no change made to this since I moved it back to draft, so there's little point in submitting it. It needs citations to independent reliable sources|, and it still has none. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:41, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
