Your submission at Articles for creation: Rich Baxter (August 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt 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). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NMUSICIAN, lacks any sources or references.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

Dragons den appearance

Thanks for updating the company name on the series 21 page. Annoying that your pitch was reduced as was a scramble to get the right details down in a hurry. May I ask, did they explain to you why they reduced the length of your pitch or why yours was the only one to be so?

Hi, the only reason being was it was a prototype and not a business. It's been a long time since Dragons' Den aired a prototype. They absolutely loved the product and the energy it created in The Den and wanted to help me. I'm very thankful for that alone. Yes, they could have shaved a minute off the other pitches I guess to give me more time as I was in there for well over an hour and they missed my pitch and edited down my song, plus some great communication with Deborah but I'd rather have an incredible 3 minute showcase over nothing! It gives me amazing leverage now to approach manufacturers such as Roland or Yamaha or other investors with this to hand! I actually still can't believe I got that chance as I knew realistically they wouldn't invest when I was applying. I had to make the most of the opportunity.

Thanks
