Comment: Article initially read like a CV or LinkedIn profile - I have tried to edit it to conform with normal biography of a living person (BLP) style (chronological coverage of subject's life). However, it lacks inline citations for various assertions and there is little significant coverage (ie more than passing or routine mentions) from reliable, independent, secondary sources (some existing inline citations link to sources with no mentions of Moriba).
