    Kindly only work on one draft at a time, two drafts led to unnecessary work by the volunteers.
    Kindly do not remove AFC header information. If it says "Do not remove this line", that line must not be deleted.
    Regardless, I've corrected the infobox and I've given you a few more sources which will improve notability. Just get a human to write the story, based on reading the sources. ChrysGalley (talk) 15:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
