| Submission declined on 4 November 2022 by Cabrils (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: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:FILMMAKER) but presently does not. Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable . Essentially subjects are presumed ‘’notable’’ if they have received significant coverage in ‘’multiple published’’ secondary sources that are reliable, ‘’intellectually independent’’ of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see referencing for beginners. Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess. My feeling is that this is WP:TOOSOON, but as I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere! Cabrils (talk) 00:17, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
