Your submission at Articles for creation: Pool Kids (March 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CNMall41 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:

I am on the fence with notability but feel that Vanity Fair is the only reference that shows any type of significant coverage. Likely could have gone AfD as opposed to Draftify.

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.

Thank you @CNMall41 for your comments! This is the first time I have worked on a draft (I didn't create it but I revised and submitted it) so I'm unsure about how (and whether) to proceed.

There are articles about the band on outlets such as Consequence of Sound, Stereogum and an album review on Pitchfork. Would these be references that would indicate broader coverage (and, as such, notability) and it would be worthwhile to include them and resubmit? SpookyFM (talk) 17:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Vanity Fair article is an example of the type of in-depth coverage needed. If there are other sources just like that then I would suggest adding them, keeping in mind not to WP:REFBOMB. Good luck. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
