Having taken a look at your article on the request of User:OohBunnies! I have the following comments:
 * The second paragraph of the article is slightly concerning from a copyright point of view, because it appears to be copied directly from http://news.yahoo.com/asia-food-recipe-hits-one-recipe-uploaded-every-080443069.html
 * The other issue is that the sources provided don't give evidence of Notability:
 * The PRWeb and AsiaFoodRecipes sources are self-published which means that, while they can be used to reference facts, they aren't usable for proving notability.
 * The ABC News and the UPI sources would be capable because they come from "Independent, reliable sources" however the coverage of the Website itself isn't sufficient to demonstrate notability. The website is only briefly mentioned within the articles.

So the question is what can you do to sort this out?
 * With the copyright issue, rewording (while avoiding close paraphrasing) would sort this out with a fairly small amount of effort.
 * With regards to notability, you don't need to remove any sources, but you need to find some other sources providing "Independent, reliable and significant" coverage. The best example would be national/international news articles. My suggestion is to pick international news websites and try running the website name through them; if this provides no results, try national news websites. If this still isn't successful use the sources below too. Ideally we need as many of this type of source as possible, however 3-5 would be sufficient.

Hope this helps you. --Mrmatiko (talk) 13:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
