Comment: The sources are a mix of passing mentions, primary sources, appointment news and other routine business reporting, none of which contributes to notability per WP:GNG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Unclear that Carter is notable (per WP:GNG). Most of references appear to be routine business press coverage arising from primary sources: PR/marketing press releases by his employers. Notability requires significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources. Early career and honorary doctorate assertions are unsupported by reliable sources.

- Comment: The title of this draft either has been disambiguated or will require disambiguation if accepted.If this draft is accepted, a hatnote will need to be added to the primary page to refer to this page.
