| Submission declined on 1 April 2023 by MurielMary (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. Declined by MurielMary 20 months ago. | |
Comment: Editor, a few issues with this draft:- please remove all external links from the body of the text, see WP:EXTERNAL.- please remove the Podcast Experiences section as that's just WP:PROMOTION and is not allowed.- but most importantly, the majority of your sources are not WP:INDEPENDENT of Renee as they are connected to her in some way either by being an interview or an award. To prove Renee meets the WP:NPEOPLE criteria we need to see significant coverage in independent sources that discuss her. Qcne (talk) 09:01, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
