Email correspondence
You sent me the following email, which I am pasting in here per your permission above:
 * begin email
 * Hello. Before you read any further, do not presume that I am here to complain about the judgement you made on an article I wrote. I agree with it.
 * I have a couple questions about improving my article. I felt the best place to get answers would be from the type of people making these judgments.
 * Do you feel as if biased references have a neutral or negative effect on the article's integrity? In other words, should I omit references that aren't third-party references altogether?
 * If my article has been declined twice based on a lack of notability, are the chances of it being approved in the future harmed even if improvements are made to the reference section?
 * end email

I will reply shortly. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:39, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply to the pasted-in email above
 * I assume you are referring to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Vinesauce.
 * Biased references can and in some cases should be used to cite "bare facts" that are not related to any claims of notability and which are not otherwise likely to be contested. For example, it's usually okay to use a biased source for a person's birthday, but not on article about supercentenarians.
 * If an article is declined based on notability, it is because the draft does not give enough evidence that the topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
 * In most cases, this is because the topic itself does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In these cases, it's best to just give up.
 * In a few cases, it just means that the person writing the draft didn't find the sources that demonstrate that the topic is notable AND the reviewer did not immediately recognize the topic as being notable. A common example is an athlete who plays in a fully-professional sports league but whose draft article doesn't say so AND whose draft article doesn't otherwise demonstrate that the person is notable AND whose reviewer isn't familiar with the athlete or the team he plays on.
 * In any case, it is best to focus on independent, reliable-source references which demonstrate that the topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If you can't find such references, or if in your estimation they only "barely" demonstrate that the topic is notable, it may be that the topic is not notable enough to qualify for an article in Wikipedia.
 * As for using references which are not suitable for demonstrating a topic's notability, it's best to keep these to a minimum until it's obvious that the topic is not meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines but that it clearly meets them. See WP:BOMBARD for more on this topic.
