| Submission declined on 25 March 2024 by MicrobiologyMarcus (talk). 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. 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: While you have the freeuse declaration at the bottom, the actual article is copied word-for-word and isn't written in the WP:NPOV required for an encyclopedia article. Further, all the current sources are primary coverage, we need to see coverage from WP:SECONDARY sources to establish WP:NOTABILITY. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 13:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
