Draft:Taylor Prestidge
| Submission declined on 4 September 2024 by Ca (talk). The problem is that all of the sources are interviews. They are valuable for the interviewee's opinions/thoughts/personal life, but they only represent the interviewee's perspective.
In addition, many of the sources do not mention Mr. Prestidge at all. I think content in this article could be merged on articles about the film or the players, since there is little information published about this person.
