Please stop resubmitting unless you first address the reasons why it was moved to draftspace.

• Comment: You made absolutely no improvements since the last time it was declined. The draft is improperly sourced, showing a huge wall of text for a single citation. It is impossible to verify what is claimed in the article with citations like that. There is a huge backlog of drafts waiting to review. Please don't waste a reviewers time by resubmitting a draft that has already been declined, unless you improve it. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
