Feedback

The reviewer, ChrysGalley, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

This looks like an example of where German Wikipedia takes a different approach to English. The key aspect in English is WP:GOLDENRULE, since as far as I can tell these are all either interviews, so not independent, or passing references. What we need is three lots of independent reliable sources, not interviews, but giving significant coverage. Therefore it isn't about what he says, or is quoted as saying, it is almost entirely about what other people say of him. So some more work is needed on that one, it's "just" notability, there is sourcing for verification, and thanks for the translation work so far.
