Comment: nothing here to suggest any notability? Theroadislong (talk) 13:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Before you submit this please consider what we need for referencing:We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.Your references are inappropriate. Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter are not allowed. Whois is pointless and shows nothing of value. Foss's own site is useless, so is feedspot and other blog catalogues.So please do the work prior to submission 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
