Comment: Good work so far on this article. However, unfortunately, in order to prove notability, an article needs to references 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk about the subject of the Wikipedia article at length. Hopefully suitable sources can be found and added to the article soon, and we can try again. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 16:39, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
