Reliable secondary sources to not exist on the subject of this article. Waters.Justin (talk) 03:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only secondary sources that discuss Massaro are from the deprecated sources list. See WP:DEPSOURCES. The deprecated sources are attack articles against Massaro from Russia Today, Sputnik, and Belarusian state media. If they are allowed, the page then appears to be an attack article. See WP:ATTACK If only primary sources from Massaro's affiliations are used, then the page appears to be a self-promotion page, and primary sources do not establish notability. The article should be deleted because reliable secondary sources do not exist to establish notability, and biographies of living people require extra care. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Waters.Justin (talk) 03:32, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agree that this is basically an attack-page. No SIGCOV in reliable, independent sources, interviews are not independent of the subject. WP:BASIC fail. FOARP (talk) 10:27, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A combination of an attack page and a WP:NOTNEWS case. No indication of notability. Nsk92 (talk) 11:56, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not enough reliable sources. NM 01:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
