Your submission at Articles for creation: Ourea Events (June 18)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. 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:Ourea Events 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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The sources added are more about the specific events themselves, rather than Ourea itself. Not seeing much indication of Ourea specifically being notable.

Thanks for reviewing my article for creation. You make a reasonable point about notability of Ourea itself vs. the events it organises. Can I ask if the article were actually titled "Races Organised by Ourea Events" with similar content (at least the history section, notable famous athletes taking part, and tables of events - maybe less of the specific company structure, values etc.), would that be something that is more likely to qualify as an article for creation?
