I can see a couple of issues immediately:

The Personal section has no supporting citations.
The suggested hooks do not seem accurate. As I understand it, the subject has not found evidence. What they seem to have done is build a model which extrapolates from examples in our own solar system. Such a theoretical model is not evidence; it's a hypothesis which would require more evidence to validate it.

The nominator was last active on Wikipedia about 2 weeks ago. I'm leaving another ping on his talk page and if there is no response in a week's time, we'll have to close this as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 19:14, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
