Submission declined on 16 May 2026 by ChrysGalley (talk). This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers. Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute. Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed. This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

• Comment: This needs some more work on it. The notability guideline is WP:NAUTHOR and that can be met with "2 books, 2 book reviews each". Those reviews need to be fully independent, so not commissioned by the publishers, and can be negative reviews. Currently there is insufficient sourcing. In addition 3 of the sources do not work / 404. ChrysGalley (talk) 17:53, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
