Your submission at Articles for creation: Adam Steen (January 7)
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:
At this stage it's not proven that the subject meets the notability critera. We have one primary source, one database, one interview and the article in the Iowa Capital Dispatch. The latter source is pretty good here, but we need more than one top dollar source. See WP:BASIC. It may be a case of WP:TOOSOON since further sources would seem inevitable. However not that campaigning in a local election isn't usually regarded as notable.
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 it after they have been resolved.
- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Adam Steen 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:
"Just being an ... unelected candidate for political office does not guarantee notability" (per WP:NPOL). Draft does not include multiple references giving significant coverage (in-depth - more than passing mentions) about Steen in reliable independent secondary sources (required by WP:GNG) - it is reliant on a routine local news story, a sports stats page, a copy of a letter (a bit strange?!), a state PBS interview (may not be reliable per WP:INT) and Steen's own website (primary source).
