Your submission at Articles for creation: Sofie Dossi (July 6)

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, this is too dependent on unreliable sources such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Tubefilter or blogs, which are not support for notability at all.<ref>Secondly, being a non-winning competitor on a reality show is not an inclusion-securing notability claim in and of itself -- being notable enough for a Wikipedia article requires her to also accomplish something else that would pass a notability claim independently of her participation in a reality show per se. (For example, AGT singers sometimes get over the bar by going on to have actual charting hit singles after their appearance on the show, thus getting over WP:NMUSIC -- but that's because of the hit, and not that having appeared on AGT automatically makes them notable all by itself.)
But all of the strongest coverage here exists specifically in the context of her non-winning AGT run, with no evidence being shown that she's gotten any substantive coverage outside of that. Glancing namechecks of her existence in articles that aren't about her don't help: it's not just a question of verifying that she's done stuff outside of AGT, it's a question of how much substantive coverage she did or didn't get about it, and this as written hasn't shown evidence of that.

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.
