Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.

Declined by Timtrent 19 days ago.I see examples of WP:CITEKILL, such as "and more.[19][20][21][22][23][24]". Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. Three is not a target, it's a limit. Aim for one. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each. More reference for a single point do not help. Look at areas like "Omonuk has also spoken at various podcasts", which are only useful in establishing notability if the podcasts are about what he said by others, nit just that he spoke and what he said. Look at the prior review. | |

Comment: Theroadislong has given you wise advice. This is precisely what I said to you in response on my user talk page much earlier this morning. When at least two reviewers agree and offer advice that is broadly congruent you may place a bet that they are correct with 100% certainty of winning that bet. Start again with a blank sheet. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 09:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This requires WP:TNT and a re-write using ONLY what reliable, independent sources have reported. Theroadislong (talk) 07:59, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This draft needs a total rethink. It also needs WP:BOMBARD to be removed.Cut, cut, and cut again. Then cut some more.We do not care that he has spoken at events unless the references are what people have said about himHis achievements. We care what others have said about them though we acknowledge the use of a restrained set of primary sources to document thatchy existWhat are all those pictures doing sprayed around the references section 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:01, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Please refer to Omonuk by his family name after the first full name mention per WP:MOS 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 08:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Interviews, what Omonuk has said or written or are affiliated with him are primary sources so cannot be used to establish notability and should only be used sparingly. Sources that do not mention Omonuk are not useful. Also, all the footnotes are bunched at the bottom but they need to placed next to claims they are supporting.
