Draft:Grant J. Rich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Draft is not adequately supported by significant coverage (ie: more than passing or routine mentions) in reliable sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking. Article reads like a corporate profile not a biography - it appears mainly focused on awards and offices held, not on his career achievements. Paul W (talk) 22:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
