  • Article is new enough and long enough, however there are some problems with the sources, which include two blogs [1], [2], a press release [3], and a youtube video [4]. There is also an issue with the hook as the reference states that he has raised $1 million dollars [5], while the hook states that Leppard has raised more than that. Further, the reference for the hook may be considered a Non-independent source because it is a bio from an event Leppard is speaking at and the organization has an interest in promoting him. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 20:49, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
  • I have pinged Gaia Octavia Agrippa's talk page several times, and there has been no response despite extensive activity elsewhere on Wikipedia. Since the issues remain unaddressed, there's nothing to do but close the nomination as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
