Comment: Note: there is already an
Alex Ely article (about a US/Brazilian footballer). If this article is eventually approved for creation, it will need a revised title - perhaps "Alex Ely (architect)".

Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including
WP:GNG,
WP:ANYBIO,
WP:ARCHITECT) but presently it is not clear that it does. As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple publishedsecondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles
‘Your First Article’,
‘Referencing for Beginners’ and
‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Twitter, YouTube). Please note that many of the references are not formatted correctly (see
Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor and
Wikipedia’s Manual of Style for help). Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a
conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the
draft's talk page, the
WP:THREE best sources that establish
notability of the subject. You may also wish to leave a note for me on
my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. As I said, I do think this draft has potential so please do persevere.
