Comment: I have removed all the "citations" that did not mention him, but was used as padding. If we further look at the reliability of the remaining sources, we are not near a pass of WP:BASIC. If there really is no substantial, reliable sources that mention him, I think it is too soon. Sam Sailor 08:51, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
