These are far from a trivial or passing reference, and thus meet the requirements of . Per ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) The "primary subject" requirement cited by Strothra should not be interpreted as "the only subject" or "the sole focus."

He was "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself."
