Comment: Borderline notable (per WP:NAUTHOR) but some sourcing is unreliable (podcasts and interviews - see WP:IV - may be primary: "any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source") and I haven't been able to verify some assertions in paywalled sources. The Dots reference is unreliable (appears to be a self-penned profile). Paul W (talk) 13:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
