| Submission declined on 22 August 2024 by Utopes (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.

| Submission declined on 21 August 2024 by SafariScribe (talk). This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research.

Comment: Coverage of the subject should come from reliable, independent sources whom are not connected from the subject, to establish notability, per Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. Also, see WP:AUTOBIO. Utopes (talk / cont) 16:16, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: That long list (236!!) of publications a) is far too long to be included here b) probably doesn't serve the purpose of referencing; and c) in any case, for referencing articles on living people, we require inline citations. Please see WP:REFB for advice on referencing. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:25, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
