Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner's evidence failed to meet the required criteria.

Similarly, the submitted published materials were not primarily about the petitioner, but rather articles that only briefly mentioned him or cited his work, which is insufficient to meet the regulatory standard.
