Comment: Not reliable sourcing for major BLP facts. GraziePrego (talk) 05:15, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The date of birth in the infobox (2 February 2006) and lead (23 November 1997) contradict each other, and neither is sourced. There should also be better referencing for the WP:BLP information in the Early and personal life section. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 16:03, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
