Draft:Nate Isaacman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: I think they may have gotten the message and dropped the AI, so progress. But still not a notable subject. Please see WP:GOLDENRULE, Wikipedia requires ≥3 reliable sources for a subject to be considered notable. guninvalid (talk) 01:21, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: It's still AI, in fact it looks like AI was used after the previous decline for AI usage.
    Kindly only work on one draft at a time, two drafts led to unnecessary work by the volunteers.
    Kindly do not remove AFC header information. If it says "Do not remove this line", that line must not be deleted.
    Regardless, I've corrected the infobox and I've given you a few more sources which will improve notability. Just get a human to write the story, based on reading the sources. ChrysGalley (talk) 15:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Apart from the fact we can't accept AI submissions, this needs some rewriting to get within the usual NPOV layout and tone for a biography. Please see WP:YFA. ChrysGalley (talk) 18:48, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
