Submission declined on 23 July 2024 by Timtrent (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. Please do not confuse Druhora with the films he produces. You have used references about the films believing that they are about Druhora. In an article about Druhora there is little value in majoring on the films. It is sufficient to cite that he was the producer, director etc.
We need references that are about him, not about them. If the films are notable please draft articles about them. Please do nt try for a portmanteau article about how and them

Comment: I was just writing this as the latest reviewer sent this back to you for more work. please look at these items:* IMDB may not be used as a reference. Nor may any user generated site.* While more than one reference for a single point often seems like a good idea, a fact, once cited, is a cited fact. You may be able to re-deploy extra references for different facts* Education section is an example of a section with few facts cited. This needs attentionLet me explain what we need. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.There isn't as much work to do as you might believe, but there is work to do. You need to prove that he passes WP:NFILMMAKER 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Comment: I have removed some puffery and formatted the headings for you. If the word 'notable' appears then we often conclude that you are telling us that something is more than what it is. Use citations to prove notability. If it becomes an article that demonstrated that notability has been found and verified 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 12:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Too much of the content is unreferenced, and too many of the citations are to non-reliable sources. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
