per lack of . "Significant coverage" for | biographies of living persons is a term of art here on Wikipedia. It means that two or more |reliable sources have covered the subject personally. Reliable sources include the BBC and ''The Times'', a paper of record. However, the subject of their reports must be more than mere mentions and interviews can not be used to cite specific details about the person's life and work details. Also, we prefer secondary sources, rather than primary sources such as those news outlets, regardless of how reliable they are. The sources must also be independent of the subject, so citations to the person's social media and blogs are not allowed. We also have specific rules about whether certain honors allow for automatic notability (for example, getting a Nobel Prize). Most of the time, |being connected to a notable or prestigious institution does not automatically confer notability. Even being associated with an important issue is not mean the person is notable; |thousands of people are involved in climate change right now. Giving a TEDX talk is not so prestigious an honor to confer automatic notability. Wikipedians are in the process of cleaning out a lot of non-notable subjects from our encyclopedia; currently we are working on articles created in 2010 and 2011 and we have found |there's a lot of non-notable persons who have articles on here. Sorry, but in my opinion, based on |past similar cases, this person is |not notable yet. Finally, althouigh some offending words have been removed, the article remains in such poor a state, with cites to social media, as |to require a total re-write
