| Submission declined on 12 July 2024 by SafariScribe (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.

Comment: This is potentially a notable figure, insofar he founded a plant, and appeared in reliable news coverage. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem I can find the notability with what was written in this draft. Infact,I would conclude that there isn't sufficient information here. Safari ScribeEdits!
