Submission declined on 28 August 2024 by Devonian Wombat (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. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted. If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

• Comment: Appears to have only received coverage in tiny local newspapers serving populations too small to be automatically considered reliable sources. Devonian Wombat (talk) 12:58, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Perhaps I missed it - where would I find the WP RS rule that indicates that the refs here are too small to be considered reliable sources? 2603:7000:2101:AA00:D087:7ABB:B283:44E1 (talk) 05:39, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
