Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt 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 people). 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:
Fails WP:MUSICBIO / WP:NCREATIVE, requires significant coverage about the individual (not the artists or releases that he has worked with/on) in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Facebook, Discogs, Flickr, Genius, IMDb, YouTube, Wikis and blogsites are not acceptable or reliable sources. Appears to be a case of reference bombing in an attempt to establish notability. Need to remove all extraneous references and just focus on those that provide significant coverage of the individual.
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 after they have been resolved.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to review my submission. I appreciate the clarification regarding WP:MUSICBIO and WP:NCREATIVE. I now better understand that the current version of the draft included too many passing mentions and sources that aren't considered reliable or independent under Wikipedia's standards.
I plan to revise the draft to:
-Remove unreliable or inappropriate sources (IMDb, Discogs, YouTube, social media, blogs)
- Focus only on reliable, secondary sources that offer significant coverage of David Simon-Baker as an individual
-Trim or rework content that doesn’t meet notability guidelines or is not directly supported by those sources.
I believe there are a few published interviews and features that may qualify, and I’ll aim to build the article around those. Thanks again for your time and guidance.
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by NeoGaze was:
Perhaps notable enough, but several pharagraphs have no inline citations (how can we verify this information?), and the overall ammount of sources is too small. Please add more substantial, independent and reliable sources.
