Comment: Probably be a notable but it needs more reliable and independent references. Fade258 (talk) 00:40, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Comment: The subject might be notable, but there are a few issues. Firstly, the creator has added AI-generated (WP:GPT) content, and secondly, the way the Wikipedia article is written is a bit off, it needs to be rewritten in an encyclopedic tone. All the best!
