Draft:David Holm
| Submission declined on 6 September 2025 by ClaudineChionh (talk). The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you. This submission appears to read more like a résumé than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, that provide secondary analysis of the subject's life in context. In contrast, résumés will tend to list individual accomplishments and rely on self-published sources, which might unduly focus on positive events and fail to properly balance their weight. Please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies by using independent, reliable sources.

Comment: Holm might pass our notability guidelines – see WP:NARCHITECT for details – but this draft must cite sources for every single claim. This is not negotiable. ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 03:08, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
