Your submission at Articles for creation: Kerry Otieno (November 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Hurricane Wind and Fire 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 for sports persons and athletes). 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.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Hello. The Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook sources should be removed unless they are published by Otieno himself. Either way, they do not count towards the general notability guideline. Before resubmission, find more reliable sources to establish notability for Otieno. However, it may also be better to wait a little bit before writing an article, as it may be awhile before he meets WP:NATHLETE.

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:Kerry Otieno and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
