This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

Comment: Unfortunately this fails WP:GNG as the article lacks significant coverage from reliable sources of the type covered in WP:VG/S, indicating that it just may be WP:TOOSOON for this to merit an article. Happy to chat if you have any questions or need help. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 06:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
