Your submission at Articles for creation: Dirty Elegance (August 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 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:

Please read the above linked information. Sources are primary and/or not independent. Blogs are not reliable sources so should not be used.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dirty Elegance and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

I was afraid that would happen. Trying to create an article with hardly any Wikipedia experience is a task that requires ignoring a lot of thoughtful warnings, which is exactly what I did out of desperate stubbornness. At the very least, I did get something out of it: finding this obscure, badass, now-defunct flash website through the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20071001103802/http://dirtyelegancenyc.com/ Live and learn@ Theguy002 (talk) 22:23, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
