Draft:Andre Chez Lewis
Submission declined on 29 July 2025 by S0091 (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.

Submission declined on 10 July 2025 by GoldRomean (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 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 GoldRomean 19 days ago. | ![]() |
Comment: IMDB and Broadway World are not reliable sources so should not be used. Blogs also are not reliable (ex. LILITHIA REVIEWS). Other sources are brief mentions or press releases/announcements which are primary sources and not independent so not helpful for notability. S0091 (talk) 17:56, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Comment: In accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, I disclose that I have a conflict of interest regarding the subject of this article. Owenskha (talk) 00:51, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
