| Submission declined on 1 October 2025 by Anachronist (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. 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 Anachronist 2 days ago. |  |
Comment: You didn’t adequately address the last reviewer’s concerns. The draft is still promotional, and the only sources now are the subject’s own LinkedIn page(!) and their employer. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 08:17, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: We don't need a hagiography on Wikipedia. Also, not one single source meets all three requirements of WP:Golden rule. All we have are trivial mentions, an interview, and citations to the subject's own writing. I am inclined to reject this rather than decline it, but I'll give it a chance to improve. If it is resubmitted without addressing these concerns, it should be rejected. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 04:12, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
