Comment: Most listed sources are not independent of the subject, and, although they can be kept for uncontroversial descriptive statements, do not show notability. Other listed sources are WP:ROUTINE, and do not contribute to passing the WP:GNG either. Finally, most remaining sources that aren't in any of the categories listed above to not show significant coverage of the subject. That leaves only a few sources left and what is left is not enough to prove notabilty. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 18:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
