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: With the possible (?) exception of the last one, none of the sources cited meets the WP:GNG standard for notability. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:14, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
This is rather subjective as reference includes a regional newspapers, regional radio station and printed magazines. Warren (talk) 11:06, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
