The result was Draftify for the author to continue working, since there's the possibility he might be notable. No harm in giving more time to work, but consensus is clear it's not appropriate for mainspace. Star Mississippi 01:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Despite great detail and voluminous referencing it’s not clear to me that this subject is notable. He has had an interesting career but I don’t see positions or awards that would make notability clear. The refbombing does not include independent in depth coverage.

refbombing wasn't purposeful. Was advised to ref every content. New here, still learning the ropes. Guidance welcomed. Amekomedo (talk) 08:33, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

hi thanks for your note. To establish that a person like thus subject is notable enough to have a bio article on Wikipedia we have a policy at

WP:NACADEMIC. So we’re looking for reliable independent sources that confirm the subject passes at least one of these criteria. Other references may verify individual facts in the article, but notability is key to establishing that there should be an article at all. Mccapra (talk) 08:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply

Comment the article creator @Amekomedo: has requested draftification for further work. I have no objection to this. Mccapra (talk) 11:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On the fence. But considering all the subject's activities outside academia, including media coverage and practitioner impact, one could consider he is meeting criterium 7. JamesKH76 (talk) 12:41, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
