  • Comment: I've reviewed it like three times, but instead of improving the BLP, the creator keeps adding more non-RS. It's clear they're not able to find coverage in WP:RS, so I feel like quitting here because the creator won't stop asking for reviews. —Saqib (talk I contribs) 14:49, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
