| Submission declined on 9 December 2024 by DoubleGrazing (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: Notability is at best borderline. Note that anything Whelehan himself has said or written doesn't count, nor do indirectly related sources (eg. ones covering the 4DWG, or the 4-day-week concept). Are there any more sources that meet the WP:GNG standard? DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This comes across as somewhat promotional with expressions like "Under Whelehan’s leadership" and mostly just talking about how he's been interview and acknowledged (this is not needed to show notability - secondary, reliable references should be used to do that without commentary). -- NotCharizard 🗨 15:16, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
