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 don't see anything there that would satisfy WP:NACADEMIC, and the sources are all primary and therefore do not meet the WP:GNG standard for notability.Even if this were accepted, the article would be liable for speedy deletion under A7, as there is no obvious claim of noteworthiness, with the contents merely consisting of basic biographical details.
