Submission declined on 10 April 2024 by IgnatiusofLondon (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 for sports persons and athletes). 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: In July 2023, declining this draft for the first time, Hey man im Josh asked that at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources be provided to sustain this article.
This is the sixth time that the article has been presented for review, and no such source has been provided. The only new source since the last submission is a strike roster, i.e., a database. Please do not resubmit this article for review without addressing the concerns of previous reviewers. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 22:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Does not currently pass WP:SPORTBASIC. Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:42, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
