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 for sports persons and athletes). 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: Thank you for your efforts in creating this article. Unfortunately, I must decline this article because in its current form, it will likely be proposed for deletion if accepted. The sources in this article do not establish notability. To establish notability, there must be multiple sources that are secondary, independent, reliable, and in depth. Do such sources exist? If such sources do not exist then you may let the draft incubate until they do. Please do not resubmit the article if these issues have not/cannot be addressed. Feel free to leave any questions you may have on my talk page. GMH Melbourne (talk) 08:21, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
