  • Comment: You have one source that looks like it might contribute to meeting Wikipedia's inclusion criteria at a glance (although it is very local), but you'll need at least one more source that is independent, reliable, and dedicates significant coverage to establish that Hopson is notable. You also need to make sure that every claim made in this draft is actually supported by the cited sources. For instance, most of the "Early Life and Education" and "Teaching Career" sections seem to contain claims that cannot be found in the cited sources. MCE89 (talk) 08:01, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
