Comment: Needs more news coverage outside the locality. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 21:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The first source appears to be a primary source from the college website where the individual studied, while the second source seems to have simply copied and cited the first college article. The third source seems promotional, given its placement under the "featured" section. Non of them build notablity at all. But the fourth source is looking good and may contribute some notablity to the subject. Grabup (talk) 06:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
