Submission declined on 24 June 2024 by OnlyNano (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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Comment: I also think you need to look into declaring a WP:COI, based on your affiliation with the company in your username. Jaremeko & Co is a comedy management company. That's not the purpose of Wikipedia (to promote), which further discredits your submission. You can see WP:WWIN for more information on that. I worry if there is credibility with you submitting, but it would be a good surprise if you could submit this in a neutral tone with better sourcing. I've seen other companies do this, which is always a pleasant surprise. OnlyNano^talk 21:44, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Comment: The current sourcing on this page is mainly unreliable, and the comment at the end that he is single makes me worried about WP:NOTDATING, and the intentions of this article's creation. OnlyNano^talk 21:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
