The nominated article fails to comply with Wikipedia Policy on Reliable Sources as well as the Wikipedia General Notability Guideline. The subject does not have substantial coverage in reliable peer reviewed sources. While the article has many footnotes and alleged sources, an examination of the same reveals that the subject merely has many trivial and fleeting mentions in sources, yet not the substantial coverage required under Wikipedia policy. A plethora of trivial mentions are not the equal of even two reliable sources that cover the subject in a substantial manner. That is a distinction that got drowned out in past AFD discussions of this article. Jack55430 (talk) 04:05, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
