This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to

meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth

Make sure your draft meets one of the criteria above before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If the subject does not meet any of the criteria, it is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Seven out of the ten paragraphs are completely unreferenced (and two of the four sources only reference the subject's own works). This is unacceptable in an article on a living person (WP:BLP). Pretty much every material statement, and certainly anything potentially contentious as well as all private personal details must be clearly supported by immediate inline citations to reliable published sources, or else removed. Please note, this is a hard requirement, not an optional extra. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:27, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
