Highly promotional article that failed AfC as non-notable. Sources do not indicate notability, most of them are sources directly from the subject of the article. CatcherStorm ^talk 01:59, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, are there copyright issues here? having a look at the IMDB source (reference no. 7), this article is word for word the same. Coolabahapple (talk) 10:37, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article has now been updated to include reputable sources - including popular podcasts, peer reviewed scientific papers, and film and tv credits. Please proceed with article submission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrybakerpoet (talk • contribs) 02:23, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The vast majority of references are articles and papers by him. I didn't find any independent coverage about him. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:02, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete However accomplished an article subject may be, notability demands that we have works about the subject, not by the subject. There seems to be no such coverage of this person in either the article or in searches. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 04:17, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nothing substantial than promoting this subject. Should have speed-died under G11 of CSD. KartikeyaS (talk) 07:49, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
