Comment: I don't think this article can survive an AfD even if it were published in this state... which is literally how AfC is decided in the end. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:46, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Rugby union players are usually AFDed because people usually doesn't meet WP:NRUGBY. The sources doesn't supports all the content in the article and should be at least to meet WP:SIRS. More improvement can help also but have any question, do good to ask out. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 10:44, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Comment: The details here need to be trimmed; this article contains a lot of promotion of the subject. The list of volunteering moments does not seem important to include and should be either restructured or removed. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 01:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
