Comment: IMDb and YouTube aren't a reliable source. It requires reliable, secondary and independent references containing significant coverage about the subject. Fade258 (talk) 17:26, 27 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: See WP:BLP. Statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed.External links should also be removed or converted to inline citations where appropriate. Greenman (talk) 19:19, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: The sources here are exceptionally weak. IMDB is not a valid source. The Stage32 source is just a listing. The nateetekampala.org source is a primary source and does nothing to establish notability. The YouTube source has 28 views and is not remarkable. While the iKON award is interesting, there's just not enough here to meet WP:NACTOR. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:14, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
