Comment: After careful reviewing, I see that no such sources are there to qualify Wikipedia's notability, also noting several declines, I checked the comments of other AFCRs. Most of the sources (including www.myjoyonline.com) fail SIRS. No choice but to reject. ☮️CSM269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 16:10, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Unclear what's supposed to main this company notable. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Note that the article was completely re-written to be about the company rather than its founder after the decline notices. Ca talk to me! 23:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to show notability: The ghanaweb source reads like a pure puff piece, the third source has no depth of content about the subject. KylieTastic (talk) 13:15, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The references consist of interviews with the subject, some with commentary, and gossip column-like material, coupled with apparent churnalism. It requires complete re-referencing in order to move forwards. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:44, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
