Your submission at Articles for creation: Peter Rossdeutscher (March 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Athanelar were:
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 appears to read more like a résumé than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, that provide secondary analysis of the subject's life in context. In contrast, résumés will tend to list individual accomplishments and rely on self-published sources, which might unduly focus on positive events and fail to properly balance their weight. Please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies by using independent, reliable sources.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Evidently promotional. A Wikipedia article should be a neutral summary of what is written about a subject in independent, reliable, secondary sources; see the golden rule. I cannot see a single source at a glance which is not in some way affiliated with Rossdeutscher or his work, or those which are are covering other matters and not him directly. We need in-depth coverage about Rossdeutcher himself. In addition, all of the external links to other websites need to be removed from the prose; please see WP:ELNO.
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.
