Comment: Previous comment still stands. Reddit is almost never a reliable source. Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. Other sources do not indicate significant coverage. Haj (talk) 16:42, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Neither the general notability or athlete notability guidelines are demonstrated to be achieved. References should be made to several third party reliable sources (rather than just PCB), additionally Wikipedia itself is user-generated and referencing other wikipedia articles should be avoided. sksatsuma 15:22, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
