Your submission at Articles for creation: David Long (January 17)
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 on the notability of people). 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.
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
The comment the reviewer left was:
See WP:NAUTHOR - at the moment the sourcing does not confirm notability under the provided definition. There is only one independent source, and relates to a fairly narrow aspect of the subject's career (though it's still a reliable source overall). Linkedin is self published and should not be a source, see WP:RSP. Databases count as primary (sometimes OK, but not for notability) and the other sources are directly connected to the subject.
If the submitting editor knows, is, or is in some way connected, to the subject, then this must be declared via WP:COI,

The comment the reviewer left was:
Sources still don't suggest notability. Many of them are just programs that he's been a cohost of. Need coverage of him as a person; for example the one about him winning a book award counts as WP:SIGCOV, so that counts to notability. Need at least 3 pieces of SIGCOV to pass.
