| Submission declined on 5 May 2023 by Tails Wx (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: See WP:BLP. All statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed. Greenman (talk) 11:07, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: BTW, IMDb isn't a reliable source, see WP:IMDB. At least it's in the external links, which is fine! Tails Wx 04:43, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
