Comment: Of the six citations, three are to Lim's website, one is to an article by him and one to a press release from him; I cannot access the sixth. We need multiple references to independent, significant coverage of him. And please do not use AI to write articles. Tacyarg (talk) 09:56, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
