This draft lacks inline citations. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. We require inline citations (footnotes) to show which source supports which specific statement.

You must place an inline citation directly after:

quotations;
any material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged or is contentious;
any material about living people.

Please edit your draft to support your statements with inline citations. Learn how to create inline citations in the:

Source Editor: Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup.
VisualEditor: Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor.

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
