Draft:Bryan Smiley

  • Comment: We don't accept the NY Post as a reliable source, which just leaves two sources covering just one aspect of the subject's life and career. Given the similar wording in both pieces, it seems there was a press release behind this. See the WP:GOLDENRULE, we need ideally three reliable sources giving significant length of the subject's life and career. ChrysGalley (talk) 07:51, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
