• Speedy Keep for failure to state a deletion rationale.The article has multiple sources, including a peer-reviewed academic article and an article in Daily Mirror (which is a no-consensus at WP:RSP), plus a mention in a book. There could be a policy-based argument but the nomination statement doesn't even try. Oblivy (talk) 08:15, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
