Submission declined on 12 June 2024 by S0091 (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: References from the Chicago Tribune and NPR have been added, which in combination with cites included from the previous draft, should establish his notability. JSFarman (talk) 21:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Thanks for the ping, S0091. I left a note on PSPazW's talk page. JSFarman (talk) 22:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: The Pitchfork article is decent but all the rest are what he has written or based on what he says. Any reviews of his book by reputable publications? Pinging @JSFarman: who might be able to provide some additional advice. S0091 (talk) 17:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
