| Submission declined on 29 September 2024 by Netherzone (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: What is needed to establish notability is significant (indepth) coverage in secondary (fully independent) reliable sources. The first source on the current draft is primary (meaning it is directly connected to the person), and the second source is a commercial tour-guide company.
