| Submission declined on 27 September 2023 by Timtrent (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. | |
Comment: Biographies of living people have stricter requirements for citations, which aren't currently met here - I think the article also needs some expansion, as currently it feels like a résumé. Turnagra (talk) 18:06, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
