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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: Interviews are NOT independent sources and do not contribute to any notability. Theroadislong (talk) 19:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Full review in good faith:
-Imdb is unacceptable as a source. Remove it entirely please.
-"In High School, Leslie was drawn to the stage and developed a love of theatre" is still pretty promotional.
-Are you sure this subject meets WP:CREATIVE?
-The biography has no valid sources. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
