Notability and stealth-promo concerns. Several of the publishers, such as "The Chicago Journal" and "The US News" have impressive sounding names but are not credible sources. Google search gives more crap sites like "US Reporter". User:力 (powera, π, ν) 01:16, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it its current form, the article is really problematic. It's now been shorn of the dubious sources, which means the references are (1) a conference-abstract that means someone Femminella knew did something routine; (2), (3) interviews; (4) his own company website; (5) another interview. (6) The Daily Trojan thing is the only possibly genuine source of notability. His main claim to notability seems to be being CEO of his company, but given that it's a start-up that is supposed to have launched a beta-test product this year, it's probably way too soon. I can't believe we've got an article explaining that he's "currently finishing up" his undergraduate degree. Good luck to him, he seems a decent chap, and may well become very influential. But at the moment what I'm finding on Google is an ambitious and well-intentioned young man promoting himself, almost everything being podcasts, interviews and youtubes.

Delete nothing notable here, just big words. Oaktree b (talk) 01:14, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
