Submission declined on 4 May 2025 by HickoryOughtShirt?4 (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. Declined by HickoryOughtShirt?4 4 hours ago. | ![]() |
Comment: Most of these sources are IMDB, which is not considered towards notability. Even if IMDB were acceptable, it is not in-depth or significant coverage of the subject. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:30, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
