| Submission declined on 26 April 2024 by Utopes (talk). 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: 67% of refs being an obituary and the census do not speak to the lasting notability of the subject. Writing books about one's experiences does not equal notability, and significant coverage from reliable, independent sources is required. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:31, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
