Draft:Simone Angelini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: It still reads as LLM, and suffers from the usual LLM vagueness and lack of meaning. Look at the last sentence in particular His work was also cited by American artist Lee Bermejo during events related to Vertigo Comics. No citation; no content; painfully vague.
    LLM text is not allowed on Wikipedia. The whole article needs to be rewritten by a human. Please do not ask the LLM to rewrite it, this never works and is likely to get the draft rejected and deleted if you keep doing it. M kuhner (talk) 13:51, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: "Highly acclaimed" in sentence 2, and promotional through out. Sack the robot and do this yourself. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:38, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
