Comment: Half the sources are Youtube films – what are they supposed to verify, and who published them? Youtube is in general not considered to be a reliable soure, although in some cases it can be used - see WP:YOUTUBE for more information. But a YT film showing a commercial featuring a person does not do anything to show that the person is notable.The rest of the references are no better; most of them don't appear to mention Brodie's name at all, some are database listings or similar, and all in all there is no significant coverage as explained in the decline notices above. bonadea contributions talk 11:07, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
