Draft:Dirseo Pasha
| Submission declined on 30 April 2025 by WormEater13 (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 does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Comment: The current state of the article reads like a resume and needs to significantly be rewritten from a WP:NPOV. The current references seem to mostly be primary sources. If there are reliable, secondary sources (e.g media coverage) about the subject, please feel free to reference them in this article. If both of these concerns can be addressed, the article could possibly stand. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 13:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
