Comment: I believe that you have a basic misunderstanding of referencing. We need references that are about Gray rather than photos taken by Gray. That he is prolific and takes beautiful pictures is wonderful, but we need to record in our own words what is said about him by others in significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of him. This disqualifies, for example the Vanity Fair flanel panel 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
