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.

Comment: More references from independent and reliable sources are required to establish notability in line with WP:GNG. The Al Jazeera article is an interview, so it does not count as a secondary source. Hitro talk 10:19, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
