Your submission at Articles for creation: David Bloom (conductor) (September 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Absurdum4242 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 passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet 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.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

You’ve made a great start to the article, unfortunately as yet it lacks sufficient sources which prove notability. It requires 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk at length about the topic of the article. Unfortunately the sources you have so far aren’t quite there. There are a number which mention Bloom in passing, or talk about his work, but none which focus on him specifically, which are also published by someone independent of him. It might be most useful to try to find specific profiles of him, remembering though that interviews are primary sources, so don’t count for determining notability. Hopefully you’ll be able to find some sources relatively quickly, and then we should be able to move forward with approving this article. Good luck 👍

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.
