| Submission declined on 4 February 2025 by MarcGarver (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: The references provided do not yet establish notability. Additionally, the article's tone needs to be more neutral. Lastly, there are concerns regarding a possible conflict of interest. Before resubmission, ensure independent sources substantiate notability and address neutrality concerns. MarcGarver (talk) 11:41, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
