Comment: Not sure this individual is notable. He has appeared on some game shows, but nothing other than that. Please establish notability more thoroughly. In terms of other advice, I would advise against using the phrase "is best known for", this phrase could be considered to be an example of weasel words. -Samoht27 (talk) 20:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The first two sources are essentially interviews, but even if we accept them as meeting the WP:GNG standard, they are not enough to establish notability. The third source contributes nothing as it's close primary one. The last two sources don't provide significant enough coverage to count towards GNG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:18, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
