Comment: It is unusual for someone of this profile to have an article in Wikipedia. For that to happen, they need to meet Wikipedia's own definition of notable, and have indepedent reliable sources to back it up. There is no presumed notability on this job profile. In which case the subject needs ideally three feature long profiles in independent newspapers, going in depth into someone career, covering the bad bits too. There is some wriggle room on this, it can be via other reliable sources apart from newspapers, for example. But here we have one short interview (so self-published) and one press release, and a few examples of their work. So well short of WP:BASIC.If the focus is on him as an author then WP:NAUTHOR applies, but that does not appear to help. ChrysGalley (talk) 10:15, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
