| Submission declined on 25 May 2024 by JJPMaster (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 events). 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: In particular, both of the sources used seem to be either during, or in the immediate aftermath of the event, but notability requires sustained coverage in reliable sources, not simply routine news coverage. JJPMaster (she/they) 16:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
