Comment: I'm deeply unconvinced the references provided amount to WP:GNG for this individual. Some minimal PR and an asserted following of 200k is a small hill of beans. If that is all you have, then perhaps it is, at best, too soon for an article about this subject. Tagishsimon (talk) 20:49, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
