Draft:Ben Greer
| Submission declined on 7 November 2024 by Paul W (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: One reference (inline citation) is insufficient to demonstrate notability - see WP:GNG. Prose section of article might need to be expanded; reviews and "See also" section suggests more references could be added to substantiate notability as a published writer (read WP:AUTHOR).
