Comment: Wikipedia is WP:NOTAMEMORIAL. The position of Gogebic County Sherriff is not automatically notable neither is being on a couple of local county boards. So apart from being the longest sheriff in the County has the individual actually done anything notable. Dan arndt (talk) 01:26, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Blogspot and YouTube are user-generated and therefore not considered reliable. Given that they account for c ⅔ of the citations, too much of the draft is by definition not supported by reliable sources. In order to establish notability per WP:GNG, we need to see significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:02, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
