Draft:Serik Aubakirov
| Submission declined on 8 November 2025 by ChrysGalley (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. This submission appears to read more like a résumé than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, that provide secondary analysis of the subject's life in context. In contrast, résumés will tend to list individual accomplishments and rely on self-published sources, which might unduly focus on positive events and fail to properly balance their weight. Please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies by using independent, reliable sources.

Comment: Several problems here. The first is that it looks like a resumé and indeed has been largely based on the official resumé shown as source 2.Secondly the criteria here is WP:BASIC which requires ideally 3 independent reliable sources for notability, with in depth coverage. Self published material does not count, nor does employers' statements. There isn't one source that meets this criteria at the moment.Thirdly the submitting editor appears to have the same surname as the subject. If the editor is the subject or knows the subject then this needs to be declared via COI. I will banner for now. ChrysGalley (talk) 13:03, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
