Comment: Hi, thanks for the submission and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia needs sources that are secondary — such as news articles — and we can't rely on self-published sources like blogs or personal webpages. It looks like Carlo Muscat only has a few news mentions so I'm going to decline, but for what it's worth, he's right near the line of Wikipedia's notability standard. I'd just need a a few more news mentions to reach significant coverage. Please let me know if you have any questions! Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 16:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
