| Submission declined on 18 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. Their outputs usually have multiple issues that prevent them from meeting our guidelines on writing articles. These include: Declined by Aydoh8 23 hours ago.

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. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Grumpylawnchair 17 days ago. | |

Comment: Notability could perhaps be established, but you're making it very hard to tell. You're going for quality over quantity with the references here. What you've written is more akin to a PR biographical than an encyclopedia article. MediaKyle (talk) 12:48, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: This is referenced almost entirely to primary sources, with very little evidence of WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing shown at all.
You do not make a person notable for winning awards by sourcing the statement to the self-published website of that award; you make a person notable for winning awards by sourcing the statement to media reportage that treats their winning of the award as news. But there's literally only one media source here, while all of the other 36 footnotes are to the self-published websites of non-media organizations directly affiliated with the claims and thus don't count as support for notability. Bearcat (talk) 13:53, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Please see WP:ACADEMIC for the notability guideline for articles on academics. Article also reads like a CV. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 18:33, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
