This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.

| Submission declined on 27 February 2024 by Utopes (talk). 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 Utopes 9 months ago. | |

Comment: The only substantial source is from Campaign Middle East, which, while strong, isn't enough on its own to establish notability. The remaining all sources fall short, with either trivial mentions or insufficient coverage to support notability. — MimsMENTOR talk 09:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
