The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Daniel (talk) 20:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet notability guidelines

The article has only one valid source in terms of WP:SIGCOV (a book, the other source is primary evidence at a US senate hearing). I can find no hits on google that aren't wiki-mirrors, nothing on google scholar. --Boynamedsue (talk) 19:39, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
