Comment: WP:INTERVIEWS doesn't show notability. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 20:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There's a lot of name-dropping here, which feels like an artificial attempt to puff up Knickerbocker's reputation. Based on the available coverage, it's clear that Knickerbocker is considered a notable talent; this article doesn't need the puffery. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
