| Submission declined on 5 November 2023 by WikiOriginal-9 (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: Not enough independent, significant coverage listed. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 06:32, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
