Submission declined on 21 December 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft appears to contain text generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content. LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Submission declined on 21 December 2025 by AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk). This draft is not written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. Declined by AllWeKnowOfHeaven 8 months ago.

• Comment: It is unusual for someone of this profile to have an article in Wikipedia. For that to happen, they need to meet Wikipedia's own definition of notable, and have indepedent reliable sources to back it up. There is no presumed notability on this job profile. In which case the subject needs ideally three feature long profiles in independent newspapers, going in depth into someone career, covering the bad bits too. There is some wriggle room on this, it can be via other reliable sources apart from newspapers, for example. But here we have one short interview (so self-published) and one press release, and a few examples of their work. So well short of WP:BASIC.
  If the focus is on him as an author then WP:NAUTHOR applies, but that does not appear to help. ChrysGalley (talk) 10:15, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
