This biographical article has only one source, which makes verifiability difficult, and has no claim of notability - which means the article fails WP:NBIO. My WP:BEFORE check failed to bring up anything of note besides passing mentions. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 22:31, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
