Comment: High standards of verifiability are expected for biographies of living people. Biographies must be supported by multiple citations from independent, reliable and high quality sources. Aim for 6-8 at least. Several of the sources quoted at present are not of the quality that is required. Suitable sources may be newspaper articles that cover the subject (but not just a passing mention, and not solely a review of their work). There must be significant coverage of the person in each source. For more details, please see: WP:BLP, where there is a fuller explanation of requirements. Marshelec (talk) 07:09, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
