Decline

To head off any questions, I'd like to explain that I declined your submission because it lacks sources that are independent of the subject and does not appear to be notable. Wikipedia cannot take the word of a subject for referencing about same and outside sources are needed to prove the subject is notable. My oversimplified rule of thumb is: if it wasn't discussed in The New York Times, it's not notable. Please read our specific criteria to understand the bar this draft has to pass.
