  • 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 you may know, 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 published secondary 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’.
    Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not.
    The draft does not appear to show that the subject has any notability beyond the average coverage in trade publications for similar architects (see WP:ROTM).
    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.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ARCHITECT criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    You may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils ( talk) 22:18, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
