Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to satisfy at least three of the required evidentiary criteria.

Furthermore, the petitioner did not establish that the publications featuring his work qualified as major media, and he did not provide sufficient evidence for the authorship of scholarly articles.
