Draft:Thomas Matthew Crooks
Submission declined on 14 July 2024 by Usedtobecool (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.

Comment: I expect this person to receive sufficient coverage in the coming days to meet Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines. However that has not yet happened. This draft does not add significant new information to what's more appropriately covered in the article on the event that this subject already redirects to.
