- Comment: To establish notability, sources more sources that meet wikipedia's WP:GNG policy are required. Sources need to be independent of the subject and contain significant coverage rather than a trivial mention. ––– GMH MELBOURNE 23:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Concerning formatting of references, see the advice in this Help desk thread. bonadea contributions talk 07:38, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Some promotional fluff/peacock wording that has to be fixed, and the text needs to be structured in paragraphs. The references also need work. See WP:CITEREF. In addition please remove all refs that don't serve to verify the information or are not reliable and independent, such as "IMDB". bonadea contributions talk 07:35, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
