| Submission declined on 12 June 2024 by DoubleGrazing (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. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: The Bloomberg piece, cited twice as refs 2 and 11, is the only one that comes even close to meeting the WP:GNG standard, and it alone isn't enough; the rest of the sources are pretty much useless. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: As already pointed out before, please remove all inline external links from body text. There should be no links pointing to external resources until the footnotes in the 'References' section. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:59, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Assuming this name follows the usual western naming conventions, people shouldn't be referred to by first name only; please change to full name, last name only, or personal pronoun. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:58, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Submission also includes inappropriate WP:External links that must be removed or converted to wiki-links or references. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 15:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
