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.

Stop it. If you keep refusing to read the guides the reviewers have shown you, I'll drop my assumption of good faith sooner or later. Fandom is not a reliable source as well. I don't see you incorrectly citing them in the article body, so just remove it please.

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.

Comment: Please review the guides for citing your sources. As much as we try to show good faith and help where we can, we are volunteers and we are not going to do this for you. You need to properly cite your sources or this simply won't get accepted. Two editors have provided guides for you; please read them. Rambley (talk) 22:26, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Based on the TV roles listed in the lead, it seems like the subject might be notable, but we need more sources to prove that. Also, please fix the promotional language ("expanding his expertise", "versatile character portrayals"). —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 05:53, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
