Draft:TWD98
| Submission declined on 27 December 2023 by Vrxces (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: Twitter and YouTube are not reliable sources Lewcm Talk to me! 14:16, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Non-notable biography with no secondary sources. Having an article for creation failed can be disappointing. You might want to familiarize yourself with the general notability guideline, especially as it applies to people, before redrafting. Generally, Wikipedia articles require significant coverage from reliable secondary sources to be notable enough to include. Happy to chat if you have any questions.
