• Comment: This draft is written as if it was a résumé not as a Wikipedia article. Lightoil (talk) 04:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: Too much of the content is unreferenced – where is all this information coming from? In articles on living people (WP:BLP), every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal and family details must be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources, or else removed.
