• Comment: Of the sources cited, there is only one source (Interni) that covers the subject in any depth, and there is one Interior Design award. The rest are either not accessible, fail to mention the subject at all, provide only a trivial mention, mention the subject's works with no coverage of the subject, or are interviews - none of which contribute to notability. See Wikipedia:Golden Rule for an overview of the kinds of sources we need. There are many citations that apparently are included for no other purpose than to bloat the citation list to give the illusion of notability. These citations need to be trimmed down and more substantive things added. Finally, one source describes him as "trending". You cannot have a Wikipedia article if you're up-and-coming, you must have already arrived. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: You exhibit a basic misundersstanding of referencing. References must be about Grosser not pages showcasing his products. etc.
    "Since then, he has gone on to complete projects for Agape,[11] Bentley Motors,[12] Bernhardt Design,[5] BuzziSpace,[13] Coalesse / Steelcase, [14], Cumberland,[1] Frighetto,[15] Johanson Design,[16] MDF Italia,[17] Mogg,[18] SupplyFrame Design Lab,[19] [20] SpHaus,[21] The Walt Disney Company,[6] the World Wildlife Fund[22] and more." is something we don't care about. This is not his resumé, this is meant to be an article about him. Material like this is faux notability. It's just a client list and causes WP:BOMBARD
    Things like "His work was featured in " we also have no interest in. What did any of these organs say about him?
    There is much rewriting and editing to do here. You need to rethink what a Wikipedia article is, please. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:01, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
