| Submission declined on 2 April 2024 by Paul W (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.

| Submission declined on 11 October 2023 by TechnoSquirrel69 (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. 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. | |
Comment: Not written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone - "his significant skills and dedication ... his success and commitment to the sport. ... an impressive record ... underscores his adaptability and versatility as a driver. ... This continuous his pursuit of excellence and undying passion for racing." - these are all promotional peacockery that have no place in Wikipedia. Paul W (talk) 10:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Also, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:07, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
