Draft:Dan Holler

  • Comment: May be notable but existing referencing is reliant upon a biography written/hosted by his employer (primary, not independent), content seemingly generated from press releases (primary), and passing mentions in routine political reporting (can't access the paywalled New Yorker article). For Wikipedia inclusion, we need significant coverage about Holler in reliable independent secondary sources. Paul W (talk) 12:51, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
