- Comment: Additional references from independent and reliable sources are essential to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Also see WP:REFBEG and fix your referencing technique. Currently, none of your sources are easily accessible to the reviewer. Hitro talk 13:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: You might find this guide helpful, in particular the "Relevance" section.I have not evaluated her notability or the source reliability, since all the references were placed after the draft without anything to show which information each source verifies. bonadea contributions talk 13:18, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
