Comment: There are no independent, in-depth sources provided about this person. We're looking for something like a profile in a newspaper. Sometimes it's possible to convert a biography into an article on a book, when their book has recieved more coverage, but none of the three linked sources qualify toward WP:NBOOK: the first is a non-independent press release and the next two are non-"published" podcasts. Although it's clear an effort has been made to provide sources, not a single source here meets the criteria described at WP:GNG. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
