Comment: The subject may be notable, but the sourcing is not reliable. Looking at the five listed sources, they appear to be predominantly media interviews of the subject, and "The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source and is also non-independent material" (see WP:INTERVIEWS). As a minimum, the article needs coverage, by sources with reputations for fact-checking and accuracy, about Newman that isn't interview-based and which reports his achievements independently.
