Comment: Still fails WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Legit.ng is not an acceptable source and interviews with the individual (i.e. Flaunt) are primary sources. Dan arndt (talk) 06:10, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: TikTok, Instagram and YouTube are not acceptable or reliable sources, for the purposes of establishing notability, neither is Getty Images. Dan arndt (talk) 03:26, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
