  • Comment: The Bloomberg piece, cited twice as refs 2 and 11, is the only one that comes even close to meeting the WP:GNG standard, and it alone isn't enough; the rest of the sources are pretty much useless. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: As already pointed out before, please remove all inline external links from body text. There should be no links pointing to external resources until the footnotes in the 'References' section. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:59, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Assuming this name follows the usual western naming conventions, people shouldn't be referred to by first name only; please change to full name, last name only, or personal pronoun. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
