| Submission declined on 18 November 2024 by CurryTime7-24 (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 music-related topics). 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.

| Submission declined on 13 November 2024 by CurryTime7-24 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. 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.

Comment: This is an improvement, but lots of work remains to be done. The tone of this draft remains unacceptably promotional of its subject. More importantly, a significant amount of material relating to the subject's life and career is uncited. Citations to verifiable and reliable sources are necessary before this draft can be accepted into mainspace. If you are unsure of how to do this, please seek help at WP:TEAHOUSE.

- Comment: Subject may be notable, but draft needs to be improved before being accepted into mainspace. The general promotional tone is unacceptable. A number of biographical details (e.g. name of wife, place of residence) lack citations to reliable sources, which is also unacceptable according to WP:BLP.
