- Hi @Sergiomarcus. I wanted to say that you really need some better sources - fully independent with significant coverage - to add to the Benjamin Spiegel article, to demonstrate notability. I couldn't find any, but if you have some that you can improve the article with, I'd happily withdraw my nomination. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 21:30, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @SunloungerFrog. Thank you for reviewing the page and providing feedback. I am already surfing the internet to find better sources that are fully independent. Kindly give me some time and withdraw your nomination and surely I'll make this article better. This is my first article and I am really excited to contribute more. Thank you.
