Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: One or two more independent news citations from a publication other than the Belfast Telegraph would likely help your notability case. Unfortunately, a casual search didn't find anything I could use alone to bolster the page. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 22:50, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
