Submission declined on 2 July 2025 by Theroadislong (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 music-related topics). 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. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include:

Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
Essay-like writing
Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
Close paraphrasing

Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models.

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 read WP:REFB your references are malformed (created by AI?) Theroadislong (talk) 12:42, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment: Please don't use AI to do your revisions. The previous reviewer asked you to revise for an encyclopaedic style. You clearly used a language model to do this and all that it did was paraphrase everything the way AI does to avoid plagiarism. What we need is for you the human to restructure the article so it works for an encyclopaedia. It's good you removed unsourced superlatives like "notable" and "numerous", that's part of what was asked for. But we don't want an AI to paraphrase things and change their meaning - for instance, you (well, the AI I assume) changed "film" to "theatrical" which is typical of AI - language models often add errors to texts they "revise" which is one reason why they should not be used for editing Wikipedia articles. Please read Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation#Creating_an_article to understand what we want articles to look like. Lijil (talk) 09:44, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Comment: To be clear on why the sourcing does not show notability........there is NO sourcing that shows notability. The majority of the draft is not supported by reliable sources. Any content that is not cited needs to be removed. Once that is done, please replace the remaining sources with more reliable sources. CNMall41 (talk) 22:11, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
