The subject doesn't meet GNG. Of the current sources, most were written by Sheffield himself. The Ives article doesn't mention Sheffield and the only independent source that does, the Media Matters post, is by a partisan advocacy group and shouldn't be counted for notability. I did a search and was unable to locate any substantial independent coverage on Sheffield. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:20, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
