| Submission declined on 8 August 2024 by SafariScribe (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. 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: Draft doesn't appear to meet WP:JOURNALIST. The sources re interviews and opinion pieces, which doesn't add to notability. Please provide reliable secondary sources. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 15:17, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
