Comment: When the only new source added since the previous decline is a brief press release that doesn't even mention Rutledge, it becomes very clear that he does not meet any notability criteria. There is in fact no claim to notability in the draft. bonadea contributions talk 14:38, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
