Your submission at Articles for creation: Al Nilsen (June 15)[edit]

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

The sources only discuss the subject anecdotally rather than in depth. The latter is required (see WP:42 for an explainer). Other statements in this draft are currently not sourced.

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 would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Al Nilsen and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Al Nilsen, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

May I be allowed to ask for clarification on your comment? You said "Most of the statements in this article aren't about Nilsen at all" and reading through it again, every single statement is about Nilsen and the work he has done in the industry.

The only part in the article I submitted that "isn't about Nilsen" is the short Console Wars section. I can remove that section, but I had included it since the book is heavily made up of quotes from Al Nilsen, and the documentary shows many interviews with Nilsen. The Console Wars book and documentary have brought new attention to Al's work in choosing Sonic as Sega's mascot, coming up with the idea for the first ever global release date, and spearheading a unique playtesting mall tour which was widely covered by the media and helped to skyrocket Sonic's popularity near the previously untouchable Mario franchise.
