Comment: Riegel is not credited as one the main producers for most if not all the films. Patrolcast is pay-to-play so not a reliable source. Creativescreenwriting is an interview with an unnamed author so a best a primary source. Lookwithin and Miami Living are also interviews and there's no evidence either meets WP:RS criteria. Indiewire makes no mention of Riegel so not useful. S0091 (talk) 17:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Likely meets WP:NAUTHOR no. 3 as has a collective work that has achieved notability. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 20:03, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Is there a better source for the early life and education? The tag is still present. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 20:02, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
