Comment: There are two major issues with this submission. First is that there are several claims here that aren't supported by the linked sources. For example, the claim that Hoff "founded the Best Buy Foundation in 1994" is not supported by any of the three references. Hoff is only mentioned in one of those references and it is in a chairman role, not as a founder. The second issue is that the sources here still do not support that Hoff meets the general notability guideline. Again, a few representative issues: Forbes contributors are not reliable according to our standards. Neither are interviews. I see that Xoak shared a better source but that it was not implemented into the article.I recommend that you figure out which three sources can be used to meet the general notability guideline and link them on the talk page so that we can do a better evaluation.

- Comment: There are a handful of promising sources but could you introduce some more sources that discuss her in-depth? [Independently, not just interviews]. I've tried myself finding newspaper clippings from archives but all I found were passing mentions. more sources like this are needed. X (talk) 15:54, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
