Subject doesn't meet notability criteria outlined at WP:BIO. Most of the references are not independent of the subject. Those that are independent are either local news stories and/or they barely mention the subject. Nothing qualifies as "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". All the contributors to article content are SPAs, including one whose name suggests this is self-promotion. Edgeweyes (talk) 23:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
