| Submission declined on 11 September 2024 by MKsLifeInANutshell (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. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

Comment: Like the previous decline, see WP:BLP. Most of the sources do not focus on the person. The article is improperly written, (no infobox, no proper inline citations in the first section), most of the information on 'Tilting Point' is stolen from the article on it, where is the confirmation of him living in Miami?
