This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for creative professionals. The draft requires:

evidence that the subject meets the general criteria for inclusion;
or evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for creative professionals;
or multiple published secondary sources that cover the subject or their work and:
- provide critical attention: professional reviews, excluding user reviews from the general public;
- are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
- are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

It is often easier to prove the notability of a creative work than of a person. If the person is not yet notable, but their work has received multiple in-depth professional reviews, consider writing about the work instead.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.
