Hello GWP78, you have not disclosed any conflict of interest on your user page (the currently-red link above) or here on the article's talk page yet, but I assume you should have, and I have added {{edit COI}} to your request so that it appears at Category:Wikipedia conflict of interest edit requests and can be found by the volunteers processing these requests. This may take a while; feel free to provide a disclosure while waiting. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. I'm following up on your WP:BLPN post. The first problem that jumps out at me regarding the sources you propose to support the prose you want is they are all primary sources. No secondary sources are provided to indicate any WP:DUEWEIGHT in the prose. Without disputing their veracity, can you propose different, more concise prose that presents its apparent biographically significant weight? Does any reliable and independent third party (secondary source) show the importance of any of the details you've offered? A few basic facts might be supportable by reliable sources that are non-secondary. But not extensive detail. Cheers. JFHJr (㊟) 02:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
