Draft:Harrison Freed

Submission declined on 16 June 2024 by Bonadea (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 is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

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.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Resubmit

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Comment: This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.
You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.
In particular, see and refer to WP:GNG for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.
This draft reads like a social media profile, but Wikipedia is not a social medium. This draft does not establish biographical notability.
See Referencing for Beginners and the instructions on footnotes. In-line citations are required in biographies of living persons.
Please revise this draft with properly formatted footnotes before resubmitting. You may ask for advice on references at the Teahouse.
This draft reads like a directory entry, but Wikipedia is not a directory. This draft does not establish notability.
This draft has no references. Notability cannot be established without references.
Do not resubmit this draft without references. You can ask for advice about references at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
