Analysis of Sources

Vinny Troia

There have been two previous AFDs on biographies of Vinny Troia, and the previous biographies were deleted for lack of notability. A review of the references shows a mix of reliable and unreliable sources, including press releases by the subject and interviews with the subject. The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Wired articles appear to be significant coverage by independent secondary sources.

I think the unreliable sources should be removed. I will try to find reliable sources for substitution. Freinland (talk) 16:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have removed both the books.google.com and scribd.com links and replaced it with this link[1] which has been used in several other pages. Can you please have a look and check if this is independent and reliable or not? Freinland (talk) 16:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
