Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Googling suggests they don't exist. Sources offered are all WP:PRIMARY or otherwise unsuitable. Msnicki (talk) 14:27, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It'd be helpful if you could point us at the sources you rely on, rather just asserting WP:ITSNOTABLE. Msnicki (talk) 04:40, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
