| Submission declined on 13 September 2024 by Reconrabbit (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: References establish only that Gualtieri exists and that he has won medals. It is not clear that he meets notability standards, since all of the references are from the organization that sponsors or hosts the tournaments he participates in - there has to be some independent sources that discuss him.
