| Submission declined on 6 July 2025 by Gheus (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.

Comment: @Plettj: I looked over the sources for significant coverage and reliability. Four links had a non-passing mention of the subject. The speedcubing.org cites had borderline significant coverage but the source appears to be one person's self-published blog and online store, which should not be used in a biography of a living person. The other two only focus on the world record and do not cover the subject much. I believe this one will be declined if good sources are not found and added. ~UN6892 tc 15:10, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
