This article came up on the community channel as needing clean-up for grammar, which I have done, essentially trimming it down to a quarter of its initial volume for unsourced claims, embellishment and obvious puffery. With all those removed, it feels like the person lacks notability and significance in their field of work and is subject to deletion. Most likely was created back in 2017 for promotional purposes as the untrimmed version had a lot of references to names of DVDs, exhibitions and other self-serving mentions.
