Comment: Note that Fandom (your second source) is not reliable because it is user-generated; i.e., anybody with an account can edit Fandom. 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs)🔥 18:22, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Comment: You've reformatted the sourcing, which is good, but there's still not enough sources to show notability. Try finding a few extra sources (I recommend minimally three), add them to the draft, and expand the article based on them if you can. S5A-0043🚎^(Talk) 12:54, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Your references do not prove thatches subject passes WP:GNG. You have been given the information to solve this in your question at WP:AFCHD.
