This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Could be notable be need better sources. The first one is a directory listing, the second is a primary source and the third appears to be a blog. Try Google Books but you want something other than travel guides. S0091 (talk) 18:23, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
