This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:
provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
Good work so far on this article. However, unfortunately, in order to prove notability, an article needs to references 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk about the subject of the Wikipedia article at length. Unfortunately, articles talking about playwrights works, but not talking about about the playwright themselves do not count towards notability, neither to links to individual works, or announcements such as award announcements. Your best bet for finding sources is to look for profiles of McLean, however remember that interviews also will not count, as they are considered primary and not secondary sources. Good luck and keep up the good work 👍
