Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary standards for the criteria claimed. The awards presented were deemed local or regional, not national, and were too old to demonstrate sustained acclaim. Submitted media articles lacked the required full, certified English translations and proof of major media circulation, and evidence of original contributions was not sufficient to establish major significance in the field beyond the petitioner's immediate collaborators.
