Your submission at Articles for creation: Otis Mensah (June 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Lopifalko was:

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 music-related topics). 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 comment the reviewer left was:

I have stripped it back to only having sourced claims and have removed the non-reliable sources. It does not quite satisfy WP:MUSICBIO or WP:AUTHOR. The BBC Music source is just a listing page for a festival appearance; The Guardian source falls fowl at least to some extent of WP:MUSICBIO's "except for the following: ... publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves" (though it has non-interview I do not know if the whole article is disqualified). That leaves the BBC News source and possibly The Star (dead link). Can you find even one more good independent reliable source with sustained coverage of the subject that is not based on an interview? Let me know on my talk page if you want me to look at it again.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
