  • Comment: Unfortunately you have not added independent sources. Please change, and even then I doubt he will pass the notability tests. Ldm1954 (talk) 15:47, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Large tracts of Pennings' career are unsupported by reliable, independent, secondary sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking. Most current citations are routine mentions or links to works by Pennings, not about him. If there is no significant coverage (more than fleeting mentions) in published sources, then he does not meet WP:GNG. Submitter might look at verification requirements per WP:NACADEMIC to explore how this could be improved. Paul W (talk) 10:46, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Far too much unreferenced information for an article on a living person.
    And please don't cite Amazon as a source, it's just a retailer. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
