Comment: As a BLP, the draft lacks detail about Pickard's life (upbringing, education, career, etc). While the claimed notability is related to being transgender, it results in the draft article being focused on events in the last five years (see WP:BLPSTYLE - "Summarize how actions and achievements are characterized by reliable sources without giving undue weight to recent events" [emphasis added] WP:RECENTISM). Care is also needed with interviews as some may be viewed as primary sources, so unreliable (see WP:IV). Paul W (talk) 09:41, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
