{{AFC comment|1=Seems like most of the sources are talking about Truman Hanks in relation to his parents, and not truly about Truman himself. See WP:NOTINHERITED.

I recommend finding more in-depth sources that talk about Truman's life independently.

If you cannot find any more independent sources, that might be a sign that this subject matter is best merged into some other pre-existing article. Ca ^{talk to me!} 00:51, 10 April 2025 (UTC)}}
