Submission declined on 28 November 2023 by Dan arndt (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.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

Comment: Potentially passes WP:NPOLITICIAN but lacks any reliable sources or references. Wikipedias, including Guampedia, are not acceptable or reliable sources. The Guam Post article doesn't mention any political positions and it is clearly a primary source (and is therefore not independent). Dan arndt (talk) 06:13, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

William Mark Alkonga Parkinson (1986 – ) was an American Firefighter and Pawnbroker.^[1] and is currently a member of the Democratic Party of Guam serving as a Senator in the 37th Guam Legislature^[2]
