Comment: Thell is not notable outside Smith & Thell. As said by the previous commenter, you'll need more information of him outside the duo. TheNuggeteer (talk) 05:14, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The issue brought up by the previous commentor did not get addressed. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 14:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: They might be notable, but right now the sourcing only shows the duo as being notable. You'll need more in-depth coverage of him outside the duo. Onel5969 TT me 18:15, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
