This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Will Welch (editor), which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please do not submit multiple copies of drafts. It does not increase the likelihood that one of them will be accepted into article space, and annoys the reviewers. It is likely to be seen as an effort to game the system, and may result in the drafts being nominated for deletion.

Hello, Nmezza, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Dmcmill (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:54, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I don't know Dmcmill and am definitely not the same person! I guess we just tried to submit the same article? Nmezza (talk) 13:47, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Will Welch (editor) (November 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mikehawk10 was:

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 comment the reviewer left was:

This individual is indeed described by the article, but the sources present don't show that he meets WP:BASIC, which requires significant coverage in multiple published^[1] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,<ref>Sources that are pure derivatives of an original source can be used as references, but do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject.

I'm seeing lots of references here to GQ, which is fine so long as we keep in mind independence issues with the article subject, but doesn't contribute to his notability. Of the remaining sources, all but the sources from The Business of Fashion appear to not give significant coverage; many are passing mentions of him or mention him only in the context of a group of people. As a result, I don't see the multiple sources here necessary for passing our notability guidelines for biographies, so I am declining this nomination.
