Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
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.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Notability under WP:NMUSIC's charting criterion derives only from IFPI-certified national pop or genre charts listed at WP:Record charts, and cannot be extended to any other specialty chart not listed there. And besides those non-certified charts, the only other sources present in the draft at all are his own self-published website about himself, publicity releases from his own record label and management company, the booking calendars of festivals he's played at, and on and so forth. The notability test is reliable source coverage in media, not primary source verification of his existence in sources that are directly affiliated with him. And WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument, either: if a bad article exists about another seemingly similar person, that proves that the other article may need to be deleted, not that the one you're trying to defend needs to be approved.
