  • Comment: I also think you need to look into declaring a WP:COI, based on your affiliation with the company in your username. Jaremeko & Co is a comedy management company. That's not the purpose of Wikipedia (to promote), which further discredits your submission. You can see WP:WWIN for more information on that. I worry if there is credibility with you submitting, but it would be a good surprise if you could submit this in a neutral tone with better sourcing. I've seen other companies do this, which is always a pleasant surprise. OnlyNanotalk 21:44, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The current sourcing on this page is mainly unreliable, and the comment at the end that he is single makes me worried about WP:NOTDATING, and the intentions of this article's creation. OnlyNanotalk 21:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
