Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat 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:
Firstly, please note that competitors in reality shows are not automatically notable enough for standalone Wikipedia articles. The winner of the season will get an article when that's announced, but the other competitors aren't automatically notable just because they were on a reality show per se -- rather, they still need to establish notability by continuing to get media coverage about their post-show careers (continuing to tour, getting onto the pop charts as a musician, and on and so forth.) Secondly, the article is not yet adequately sourced to claim that Rita Baga already clears WP:GNG regardless of whether she wins the season or not, because eight of your twelve footnotes are not valid support for notability: you cannot use streaming copies of the episodes, blogs like En mode drag, her own LinkedIn résumé, the self-published websites of organizations she's directly affiliated with, user-generated databases like Heightzone, or mere photographs of her, as support for notability. And of the just four sources here that are to real media coverage, two are just the standard "meet all the queens" pieces that introduce all of the competing queens (thus not constituting evidence that Rita Baga is more special than all of the other girls in the pieces), and the other two are just local coverage in her own hometown in local-interest contexts that don't clear our notability criteria. Just to be clear, I'm a faithful viewer of CDR and Rita Baga is definitely one of my favourites so far -- but the way notability works on Wikipedia, this just isn't where it needs to be yet. Unfortunately, you'll have to do one of two things: either wait until she's announced as the winner of the season, or work on it some more to demonstrate that she has some other notability claim stronger than just being a contestant and find better sources to support that.
