Comment: No sources showing significant coverage (ie: more than routine or passing mentions) of Shreeve, rather than his work, in reliable independent secondary sources (Shreeve's own website, IMDb and what appears to be a fan blog [Elisarolle] are not reliable sources. Various assertions made are currently unsupported by reliable sources. Paul W (talk) 15:39, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
