Revision as of 20:24, 28 February 2024
Comment: I do not see enough proper coverage in secondary sources to decide if this person is notable. Heaven Adores You likely makes him notable, but the rest of the article is WAY too much like a LinkedIn resume, and IMDB shouldn't be used as a source--if it is, that's usually a bad sign. Also, please clean this up--don't use bare URLs--and that will also make this easier to be judged. Drmies (talk) 20:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
