| Submission declined on 11 July 2025 by Aydoh8 (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. Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT.

Comment: Parts of the article seem to be written by an AI or a LLM tool. Overall the article needs proper sourcing. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 19:25, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
