Submission declined on 2 April 2024 by Paul W (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Paul W 8 months ago. |

- Comment: Not written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone - "his significant skills and dedication ... his success and commitment to the sport. ... an impressive record ... underscores his adaptability and versatility as a driver. ... This continuous his pursuit of excellence and undying passion for racing." - these are all promotional peacockery that have no place in Wikipedia. Paul W (talk) 10:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Also, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:07, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
