Comment: There is apparent notability as most on "TIME's 25 Most Influential Teens of 2018" has found Wikipedia articles. Definition of biography: "A biography is an account of somebody's life written by somebody else, complete with details of the most important parts." Definition of pseudo-biography: "Apparently, but not truly, biographical". I cannot approve the draft for a couple of reasons:1)- This BLP draft is missing critical biographical information like date of birth. 2)- The article is a duplicate name of the existing Jack Cable (Ivan John "Jack" Cable) article.
