Draft:Nathan O'Leary
| Submission declined on 28 May 2024 by Paul W (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: No significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources. Some content is dependent on sources associated with the subject's employers (so is unreliable). And two of the references are trivial mentions relating to the subject's pets! Not notable at all. Paul W (talk) 14:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
