Comment: Additionally, the contributor(s) seem to (still) have an undisclosed conflict of interest. LR.127 (talk) 01:32, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Of the three new sources added since I last reviewed this, two don't even mention Mirap, and one has him commenting on Bodrum. None of these contribute anything towards notability per WP:GNG.I also note that the author still hasn't responded to the COI query. Please do so before resubmitting. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:19, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Interviews, 'profiles', passing mentions, and reviews of his concepts do not establish notability. We need to see significant coverage, directly of Mirap, in multiple secondary sources that are both reliable and independent. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:54, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
