| Submission declined on 7 November 2023 by Significa liberdade (talk). Subject passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines for athletes. However, the article needs a bit more clean up. At present, there are some claims made in the lead that are not explained in more detail in the body of the article (e.g., national records and membership on Team Canada). | |
| Submission declined on 3 November 2023 by Vanderwaalforces (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. | |
