Draft:Guillermo Rauch
| Submission declined on 9 October 2024 by AlphaBetaGamma (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. Seems to have been declined on October 8 for copyright violations. However, the removal of copyvio seems to have destroyed the decline template as well, leaving the state of draft hanging. Considering only major change in article since last decline being CV cleanup, SafariScribe's decline still stands.

Comment: While the company Vercel appears to be notable, that does not transfer to him being notable. For that you need articles about him, not the company. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:06, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
