in-depth (not just passing mentions about 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.
The comment the reviewer left was:
We'd need one or two more independent reliable sources. Plus I'd also recommend using in-line citations.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Relativity 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 events). 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 an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Sentences like "Today, the BFX festival has become one of the world’s largest and most important early music conclaves" read like a promotional piece. Also, for this draft, you do not need to place any words in boldface other than the main subject. You also should not have an external link to the official website in the article body (see WP:ELOFFICIAL)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:
Although inline references are not strictly speaking required for articles on topics such as this, they are nevertheless very much preferred, as they, and only, show clearly where each piece of information comes from. And they are required, per WP:REF, with anything potentially contentious, such as peacocky statements like "events were renowned for innovation" (who says?) or "gave a sense of ownership to varied segments of the community" (ditto). In short, please use inline citations, preferably throughout; see WP:REFB and WP:ILC for advice.

The comment the reviewer left was:
The NYT piece is solid but the San Francisco Early Music Society is a primary source and not independent so should only be used very sparingly, if not avoided. Routine announcements are not helpful though they can be used to verify basic facts. American Recorder is quite niche. If you can clean up the prose to remove the promotional language and find one more source with in-depth coverage, it should pass.

Master WuGui, I found some additional sources from the LA Times and NYT which I have added to the draft. You should use those to expand it. I am not finding much written about it in the last decade though other than standard announcements. Note that a Wikipedia article should summarize what secondary sources say about a subject and if most of the coverage is from years ago, then that is what the focus of the article should be.
