Your submission at Articles for creation: Mali Obomsawin (November 23)[edit]

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

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Mali Obomsawin and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello there Jamiebuba, I am confused as to why you denied my article submission based on the reason given. There are numerous reputable news sources that have published pieces on the subject, from The Guardian, NPR, The Smithsonian, Finance Times UK, Jazz Times, etc. She also even already has a wikipedia page in German. The coverage is also more than just a passing mention of the subject. I guess I am unsure as to why this doesn't pass the criteria necessary when I have seen many other "notable people" articles with far less reputable sources. (and in some cases barely any sources at all) I would appreciate a reply so I can rectify any issues with the sources and work to do better thank you!
