Comment: I am not seeing significant coverage by reliable sources which are cited right now despite the massive cut-down of the article's content. HurricaneZetaC 17:14, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
Comment: The article has too much information that seems promotional or like a resume. Please revise and rephrase in a formal Wikipedia tone or POV. I also suggest removing irrelevant details from the draft. Refer WP:NPOV, WP:PROMO. AlphaCore talk 14:16, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Please resubmit only when at least #2 or #3 independent, reliable sources provide national coverage or critical discussion of a playback career beyond reality shows. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 04:32, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Press releases are not independent, secondary sources. There is no actual claim to notability as Wikipedia defines it; please see this information. bonadea contributions talk 14:48, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
Comment: Please see the referencing tutorial at WP:INTREFVE. The prose is also written entirely inappropriately. qcne (talk) 18:51, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
