| Submission declined on 22 June 2023 by S0091 (talk). May be notable but it is difficult to tell because of the WP:CITEBOMBing and much of the content is about general activists/activism and Who Are We Hurting? rather than Zammitt specifically. Also, this is largely just a listing of activities rather than written like an encyclopedia article. Suggest rewriting it and keeping only the best quality sources that cover Zammitt in-depth, keeping in mind interviews and what Zammitt states is not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. | |
