Comment: Most of the references are the same ANI press release posted to multiple sites. I can't be bothered to merge all the duplicates of the press release. Reliable secondary sources are needed, and most of the text needs a rewrite for Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Wikishovel (talk) 22:34, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
