{{AFC comment|1=Unfortunately, while Foster is certainly accomplished in his field, he does not seem to meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline, which is much more stringent than most people suspect. While Foster is mentioned in some of these sources, these mentions are entirely passing, meaning that Foster himself is not the subject of the articles. By my count, ten of the thirteen sources are like this - They are about some project Foster was involved in but not about Foster himself. The other sources are either database entries or do not mention Foster. For example, the claim about Foster being involved with Amazing World of Gumball is not sourced and those articles only discuss the show.

If you are working on an article about yourself or someone you are closely connected to, I recommend reading WP:PROUD and WP:DISCLOSE. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 00:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)}}
