Fails WP:GNG. I'm surprised this draft was approved as an article. Based on the sources cited in the article, I don't see how Dumbo is notable. Many of the sources are the Daily Mail, which isn't good for much except gossip and tabloid material. Many of the sources concern Dumbo's relationship with a female comedian, who herself is not notable, and whether the relationship is real, a social media scam, or who knows what. Only one of the awards is cited, and that citation is the Daily Mail; reading it, you quickly see that the award is not important except maybe as an advertisement. The article was created by now-blocked socks, and my guess UPEs. Bbb23 (talk) 20:13, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

• Delete as pre nomination I also belive that it Fails the WP:GNG and I think this was more of a favour cause the user that started this was blocked indefinitely. -PK YellowWisdom (talk) 21:46, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
