Comment. Did the nominator do WP:BEFORE? http://www.rubinmemorial.com/obituary/5943359 Eastmain (talk • contribs) 22:17, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment @Eastmain: Before nomination I searched for any sources that could be added to the article, but couldn't find any other reliable sources to add, and mainly just came across forum discussions and blogs. If anyone comes across any useful reliable sources that I didn't find, I suppose I could close the discussion. WaddlesJP13 (talk | contributions) 00:40, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
