Submission declined on 22 April 2024 by TechnoSquirrel69 ( talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. 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 music-related topics). 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. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window. If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.

• Comment: Thanks for your submission! I'm declining this article as there are no citations to independent secondary sources, which are the only ones considered reliable enough to demonstrate the subject's notability. Please also note that blogs should generally not be used as references as they are self-published. Let me know if you have any questions!
