Comment: This draft reads like a resume, but Wikipedia is not for resumes. This draft does not establish biographical notability. Do not use Wikipedia to post your resume or advertise your qualifications. See also Wikipedia is not a web host. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Comment: This draft has a title that either has been disambiguated, or will need disambiguation to be accepted.
If this draft is accepted, a disambiguation page will need to be created. (Review of the existing article or articles with the principal name indicates that a disambiguation page should be crated in place of the use of hatnotes alone.)
The disambiguation page should be Alex Joseph (disambiguation). Robert McClenon (talk) 01:42, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
