Notability and sourcing

While Asher was no doubt an important figure, the biography in the DNZB was written by Ringakapo Tirangaro Asher-Payne, Asher’s daughter (see: [1]). More sources would be desirable either way, but this article leans on a bio that is functionally a eulogy (WP:INDEPENDENT). — HTGS (talk) 02:06, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
