Submission declined on 8 June 2024 by KylieTastic (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.

Early life[edit]
Anthony Lees, who grew up in Woolloomooloo, New South Wales, received the nickname Spanian whilst serving time in juvenile detention as a teenager at Cobham Youth Justice Centre. He was originally known as "Spaniard" because his father is half-Spanish and then the nickname eventually got shortened into Spanian.[2]
