The most likely reason your article was declined was because the sources are not adequate.
 * The references should include reliable web sites. This means not web sites that can be edited by anyone, such as IMDB or Wikipedia.
 * The sources should include a secondary site that talks about the subject, not just a primary site such as a company web page.
 * Notability may not be established - most bands fail WP:Music criteria, academics are not outstanding in their field. Most movies are now not notable as they are home movies.
 * It may be a copyright violation. Copying the text off a website is almost always unacceptable.  Even if you wrote that text yourself, you will have to be very careful to explain that.
 * Notability test by internet search: If the person or band is currently famous, then there should be plenty of web sites that mention it (apart from wikipedia).  I would expect at least several thousand hits.  A few dozen completely fails the test.  Perhaps the name was spelled wrong?

David Russell artist I see this article about me was deleted, I would like to know why? I think the sources were adequate.
