Comment: It is entirely disruptive to re-submit again with no improvement. Theroadislong (talk) 22:13, 26 December 2023 (UTC)- Comment: Various statements unsourced and no clear indication of WP:SIGCOV references. Obit likely written by family, judging by the tone, and cannot be assumed as independent. Bungle (talk • contribs) 11:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
