Comment: All the sources are the subject talking, or otherwise close primary ones. None of these contributes anything towards notability.Vast majority of the content is unreferenced. In articles on living people, pretty much every statement must be clearly supported by an inline citation to a reliable published source, or else removed.Very promotional throughout.
