may make notability and be an interesting story but as written it is hard to know which of the factual claims are accurate. Encyclopedic is another issue as many claims seem to be trivial or gossip oriented- these could add interest to an otherwise good article but that may be all there is once verification is required. And, sure there is a lot of puffery.
