  • Comment: I will give you two suggestions that may help. The first is to remove the WP:REFBOMBing. The other is to either cite or remove any information that is not supported by a reliable source. I did a quick search on Google (I don't know any reviewer who is going to go through all references when a REFBOMB is present) and do not see the significant coverage to support. Hopefully you can remove the excess and provide the significant coverage that shows notability. CNMall41 (talk) 02:40, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
