Comment: A large portion of this submission lacks sources. The presented sources also do not adequately establish notability, as noted by the last reviewer. Please see WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. Hitro talk 09:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The main problem is the citations you have chosen. For example, a citation should support the claim that he gained a degree in business administration; the link you added just goes to the description of the course. What you need is a link to a reliable source, like a newspaper or magazine, that says he has a degree. I have removed the citations that are "incorrect" so it is clearer where the problem is. The remaining citations don't really establish notability just being a list of articles where someone mentions his name. MarcGarver (talk) 17:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
