Submission declined on 3 November 2024 by HitroMilanese (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. 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. Declined by HitroMilanese 12 days ago.

• Comment: Fails WP:NARTIST. Theroadislong (talk) 08:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: The chronology of the various lists needs to be reversed to run from oldest to newest. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Several paragraphs, and entire sections even, wholly unreferenced. Please note that in articles on living people (WP:BLP), pretty much every statement has to be supported by a reliable source, and especially anything potentially contentious as well as all private persona details such as DOB. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Many of the sources presented are not reliable. Thirteen to fifteen of them are either authored by the subject or come from the subject's personal website, making them primary sources. Please see WP:NARTIST and add references accordingly. Hitro talk 14:20, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
