Submission declined on 31 August 2024 by Sohom Datta (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject) reliable secondary independent of the subject Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

• Comment: Inappropriate inline WP:External links will need to be corrected or moved. Bobby Cohn (talk) 20:42, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Likely meets WP:NPROF but there are no citations to independent or secondary sources to support the claims in the biographical portion of this WP:BLP. I've added one to for the FTWAS claim. Other statements will need to be verified. Bobby Cohn (talk) 19:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
