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: Borderline notable (per WP:NAUTHOR) but some sourcing is unreliable (podcasts and interviews - see WP:IV - may be primary: "any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source") and I haven't been able to verify some assertions in paywalled sources. The Dots reference is unreliable (appears to be a self-penned profile). Paul W (talk) 13:32, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
