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.

Comment: As already noted by the previous reviewer, the first source (Deadline Hollywood) completely fails to mention this show at all, and thus is not helping to establish the notability of this show. It appears to be here solely to verify the existence of OutTV, and says nothing at all about Sugar Highs, and thus is doing absolutely nothing to help establish the notability of Sugar Highs.
The second one (Playback) is just a glancing namecheck of this show's existence in an overview of all the programs greenlit by its network at that time, and is not in depth coverage about this show. It's fine for use, but not in and of itself enough.
The fourth (The Social) is just the show's own cast members being interviewed about it, which is not independent of the show for the purposes of helping to get it over WP:GNG. Per WP:INTERVIEWS, an interview of that type can be used to verify additional facts after GNG has already been satisfied by better third-party sourcing, but does not help to establish passage of GNG in the first place.
"Mr. Will Wong", which I've already removed, is a blog, not a reliable or notability-assisting source, and counts for absolutely nothing.
And as for In the Seats, it is not prominent or reputable enough to get a show or film over GNG all by itself: it can be used to support extra content amid a mix of solid sourcing, but it cannot single-handedly vault a topic over GNG if it's the only useful source in the mix. Like Playback, it's acceptable for use but not enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:41, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment: In addition to the above, the first source makes no mention of the show, the second and third are press releases. S0091 (talk) 18:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
