Comment: I'm not seeing WP:SIGCOV in multiple secondary sources which are reliable in this article. A lot of the references only mention Simons in passing and those that don't are interviews which are considered primary sources and therefore aren't relevant when assessing notability. I would suggest waiting until Mile End Kicks is released because when that occurs they might pass WP:NACTOR (depending if the film is notable or not). TarnishedPathtalk 11:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
