Comment: Five sources are specified. Of these five, there's "no consensus on the reliability of The Daily Beast". Even worse, the New York Post is "generally unreliable"; and Newsweek articles since 2013 are not generally reliable". Hoary (talk) 06:38, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Likely notable. However, sources need to actually verify statements. For example, the source for "Knauss was born in 1968 in Sevnica, Slovenia" (source 2) contains no such information. However, the details are found in source 1. Greenman (talk) 16:52, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
