| Submission declined on 24 September 2024 by Saqib (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. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Saqib 57 days ago. | |
Comment: This draft has a number of issues. Let's start with referencing: some of the sources are not acceptable (eg. scans of private documents), and too much of the biographical detail is unreferenced. Please ensure that every material statement is supported by an inline citation to a reliable source, or else removed.(This is in addition to the content being promotional, and evidence of notability being borderline at best, as already mentioned by the previous reviewer.)
