| Submission declined on 28 May 2024 by CNMall41 (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: Previous decline comment of Currently, portions of this draft are unsourced - please add necessary citations before resubmitting does not appear to have been noticed by submitter. The updates prior to submission actually added more unsourced content. Looking at the references that are here, they are basically stats which cannot be used to determine notability. Finally, based on the image, I would suspect there is a connection to the subject. Please review WP:COIN and WP:PAID and make the appropriate disclosure if applicable.
