Fails WP:ANYBIO. References, where not primary, are just passing mentions or describing primarily the 1982 World Rubik's Cube Championship. (If deemed necessary, some content can probably be incorporated there.) Web search does not help here either, and apart from the described kinds of sources returns irrelevant results, such as this Britannica biography on a revolutionary. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 20:18, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
