Draft:Dan Merica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: All of the references are brief mentions or simple announcements which do not go into depth about his life and career. I tried searching on Google but there are a ton of results mainly with him being the author of the reference (which would not be considered independent). Are you able to provide some references that talk "about" him in-depth? If so, ping me here or reach out on my talk page when you add them and I will come back and take another look.
