| Submission declined on 2 April 2024 by GSS (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: The references so far are just fine, but the article needs to be more like an encyclopedia article. GSS, the criteria for notability for an academic are in WP:NPROF, and the sources that verify those are independent and reliable. Braun meets two of those criteria. Use the "prof" reason to decline academic articles whose references don't show that the article qualifies. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:20, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
