Cites no new sources since the previous decline, therefore still no evidence of notability. Also, still inherently promotional. If this is submitted again without addressing these issues, the draft may be rejected outright without the option to resubmit.

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.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Submission declined on 13 December 2023 by Aviram7 (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Declined by Aviram7 9 months ago.

Comment: Resubmitted without any improvement. From that, and the number of previous declines, I can only conclude that better sources are not available and that the subject is therefore not notable enough to warrant inclusion in the encyclopaedia. To avoid further reviewer effort being expended on this draft, I am now rejecting rather than merely declining this. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment: See WP:BLP. Statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed. The entire early life section, for example, is unsourced. Greenman (talk) 10:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
