Submission declined on 28 February 2024 by Drmies (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 do not see enough proper coverage in secondary sources to decide if this person is notable. Heaven Adores You likely makes him notable, but the rest of the article is WAY too much like a LinkedIn resume, and IMDB shouldn't be used as a source--if it is, that's usually a bad sign. Also, please clean this up--don't use bare URLs--and that will also make this easier to be judged. Drmies (talk) 20:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
