Submission declined on 1 December 2025 by MCE89 (talk). This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by MCE89 6 months ago.

Submission declined on 1 December 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft appears to contain text generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content. LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice. These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies: hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references. unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual. copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. See the advice page on large language models for more information.

• Comment: It looks like apart from some local awards, all of the coverage in reliable sources is solely about Tapre's swim across the English Channel. Generally a living person who is notable only for one event is not eligible for a Wikipedia article. Are there any reliable, secondary sources that cover Tapre outside of the context of that particular achievement? MCE89 (talk) 12:12, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
