Your submission at Articles for creation: The Taxpayers (December 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Wasianpower 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 on the notability of music-related topics). 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:

This subject is very close to meeting our notability guidelines, and this is a very hesitant decline. A subject must show notability to warrant an article, here are the two criteria that this subject is close to meeting but not *quite* there yet:

1. WP:GNG/WP:NBAND#1. This MPR news source is the best source here, it goes into depth on the band itself. If you could find 1-2 more sources like this, it would warrant an article. Unfortunately, the only other sources I could find either did not appear to be reliable, or were music reviews without much coverage of the band itself. There are also lots of interviews with the band, but those generally do not help establish notability per WP:INTERVIEW.

2. WP:NBAND#5. I believe Ernest Jenning would qualify under this criteria, but they have only released one album with this label. If they release a second album, this would warrant an article.

This is very much a borderline case, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have questions or additional sources that could be considered. I'd very much encourage you to resubmit the article if you can find sourcing to show the band meets either of these critera.

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:The Taxpayers 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.
