  • Comment: Doesn't seem to be any notability outside of GoodPop, so I'm not sure this warrants a standalone page. BuySomeApples (talk) 00:36, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sorry, I am not convinced this person passes WP:NPEOPLE. Youll need to overhaul the sources and find secondary independent ones. Qcne (talk) 13:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Remove most of the External links, you should only have one or two. See the guidelines at WP:EXTERNAL.
    However I am not convinced this person meets WP:NPEOPLE: most sources are interviews or about the company not the CEO. Qcne (talk) 18:54, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: There still is something off with this draft: most of the sources include significant interview elements and there is very little dedicated secondary coverage to Goetz as a person. Modussiccandi (talk) 16:06, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Written far too promotionally to be able to accept - is the article on the product or the person? SportingFlyer T·C 11:00, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
