Draft:Ryan Stokes
  • Comment: We are a tertiary source concerned only with what secondary sources have to say about a subject. This is essentially just the subject's resume in prose form. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:35, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Reverted to previous version. PAID creator would do best to stop "improving" this draft. Mme Maigret (talk) 10:26, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Not seeing any significant coverage that isn't routine WP:ORGTRIV. This doesn't denote notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:00, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was already declined because of inadequacy of sources, and no new sources have been added, so it was unlikely I would accept it. But I do concur with the earlier decision. A few of the sources cited here do come from relevant major publications, but they do seem to focus too much on things like "society weddings". What is really needed is a statement in the article head showing that this person has accomplished something of note beyond inheriting wealth and a job in the family business. Perhaps the article is premature - he is still a young man and may make more of an impact in time. Doric Loon (talk) 09:53, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: "Stokes was credited with its turnaround" on its own is WP:NPOV. Who credited Stokes? Add this. CopyleftEverything (talk) 01:44, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Article needs clean up and copyediting, particularly "Career" and "Other activities". But there appears to be sig cov (1) in the the AFR, ie Smith 2015 and MacDonald 2024 and (2) The Australian's Deal magazine, ie Davidson and Kitney of which he's the subject of the cover story (2500 words).

  • Comment: The article reads more like a resume than a Wikipedia article. JSFarman (talk) 21:44, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
