| Submission declined on 12 December 2024 by Anuwrites (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. Declined by Anuwrites 5 days ago. | |
Comment: Apart from any other issues (lack of notability, promotional tone and content, etc.) this is very poorly referenced. Either support everything with clear inline citations to reliable published sources, or remove what you cannot thus support. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:29, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: IMDb is not a reliable source, you could consider adding it as external links instead. Many of written references are either writing from the subject or passing mentions. Some references (ref10) made me download a whole PDF file just to miss even a single subject mention in there, that wasn't so polite. ANUwrites 05:38, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
