| Submission declined on 3 February 2023 by HeinzMaster (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 for sports persons and athletes). 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. Declined by HeinzMaster 23 months ago. | |

Comment: Likely going to meet WP:GNG but the sources are unreliable. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:45, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think this is quite there yet - still COI/promotional concerns and not convinced this would be kept at AfD. I would add an additional article or two that's not an interview and remove information about his business. SportingFlyer T·C 13:38, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: See WP:COI.WP:External links need to be removed. All statements need to be sourced (by sources that actually verify the statements, unlike some here), or removed. Greenman (talk) 12:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
