{{divbox|gray|3=This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|criteria for inclusion for people]]. The draft requires multiple published [[Wikipedia:Secondary|secondary]] sources that: |
|||
* provide ''[[Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic_criteria|significant coverage]]'': discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis; |
|||
* are ''[[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]]'': from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; |
|||
* are ''[[Wikipedia:Independent_sources|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.|}}{{divbox|gray|3=This draft reads like an advertisement.

Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: |

|||
* ''personal commentary'': opinions or direct addresses to the reader; |
|||
* ''[[Wikipedia:Tone|informal language]].'' |
|||
Instead, only [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Information style and tone|summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources]] that discuss the subject. |
|||
If you have a [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|being paid to edit]], you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]].|}} |
