• Comment: Resubmitted without addressing prior comments. It still does not cite and reliable source and it is truly difficult to review this. Chances of this topic ever passing are very slim to none. My apologies, please don't be discouraged. dxneo (talk) 23:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: No independent reliable sources cited, Reliable independent sources are needed to establish notablity. Grabup (talk) 14:14, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
