• Comment: Hi, part 1 and part 2 in The Toronto Star looks like a good source. But I'm sorry to say that AI writing is a bad place to start. Superficial cleanup doesn't resolve the systemic problems that arise from using these tools for article generation. I would highly recommend you start from scratch here, focusing on finding what reliable sources have to say about him. Zzz plant (talk) 06:25, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
