Comment: The current references do not demonstrate significant coverage as outlined at WP:SIGCOV - they only have passing mentions of him personally. MolecularPilot 🧪️✈️ 10:11, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I would recommend that creator add references necessary to support everything in the body, including the film making and filmography sections. CNMall41 (talk) 03:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: IMDb is never a reliable source for anything (user edited) and we require significant, in-depth coverage in independent sources to pass WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
