Draft:Missy Crutchfield
| Submission declined on 13 May 2024 by Paul W (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.

Comment: Does not meet WP:GNG or any of the WP:BLP notability criteria for actors or authors. Draft is based on citations largely drawn from PR/marketing-sourced content, heavily reliant on the subject's own claims. No significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking. Paul W (talk) 13:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
