| Submission declined on 22 December 2023 by Tagishsimon (talk). The subject is probably notable but a) the career section is written more like a CV than an article, and the emboldening of the dates is unwelcome. The awards section format is nonsense: WP does not do upper case in the way you have decided to do things here. You also need to refer to the subject by their family name, not given name. You need to lose references to the subject's own website - ref 3 for instance;and so you need to find reliable sources for the claim made, or else remove the claim. Finally, just in case and just because the whole thing reads like an advert, please see WP:COI and WP:PAID. Declined by Tagishsimon 5 months ago. | |
Comment: I think this meets WP:NBIO but I have significant concerns about the neutrality of the article, feels very promotional. Some things are off topic. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 19:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
