Submission declined on 6 December 2025 by WormEater13 (talk). This draft is not written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. Declined by WormEater13 5 months ago.

• Comment: We have no interest in seeing what Pugh says. We are only concerned with what is said about him. You have created an advert, not an article.
  I think you have probably written what you wish to say about the subject, and then sought references after writing in order to cite what you say. This is WP:BACKWARDS. Instead, please read this essay, one of several which outline a process which will succeed assuming the subject to be notable. If it isn't notable then no amount of editing can help. We use the references in the process described in the essay to determine and verify notability. No suitable references means the subject is not notable, and it is time to stop. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 09:49, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: Do not delete AFC comments and trackers. The clue to this is that where it says "Do not remove this line" it means leave it alone. As a result of removing the previous AFC data the article ended up in the wrong date bucket. ChrysGalley (talk) 10:30, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: The subject in particular may pass WP:GNG -- though, I haven't done a proper evaluation/search of the sources to find out if he does or does not truly meet our criteria. However, I see one current outstanding concern – the article reads promotional. We require drafts to follow WP:NPOV -- in essence, articles must be written in a neutral tone. If the article could be rewritten in a neutral format and if the subject meets our notability criteria, the article could stand. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 6 December 2025 (UTC)
