I tried to create a page on the musician Nova Rockafeller. I'm not sure why it was declined. Can a more experienced editor make a page for this topic?

The Draft was rejected for the reasons given on the Draft page itself, Draft:Nova Rockafeller. In summary, providing just a single source is not enough to prove that a person is notable enough in Wikipedia's terms for there to be an article about her. The links on the Draft page will give more information.

You could ask for someone else to write an article at Wikipedia:Requested articles, but I am not sure how promptly such requests are dealt with, if at all. As an alternative, you could carry on improving your existing Draft... by adding a few more sources... and resubmit it when you feel ready. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:21, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Why was my article, "bug out bracelet" not approved?

• The sources do not look to be reliable or independent. Someone selling the item is not independent. And user contributed content is not counted as reliable. Not only that, the references I saw do not use the term "Bug Out Bracelet" for this. See if you can find book or magazine sources. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:53, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

My article has been rejected because of notability. The article is about a prominent and well known actor. I referenced many links and reasons why so why has it been rejected? DACLapril (talk) 11:30, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• Only the http://www.voice-online.co.uk reference looks to be suitable with substantial content. The other references only have small mentions, or are less reliable sources like wikia or blogs. We need at least two reliable substantial independent references. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:47, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not understand why this article has been rejected. This musician is part of a Grammy-winning string quartet and has been reviewed in the New York Times. She is no more or less notable than her other group members, Todd Reynolds or Mary Rowell who each have their own articles. Please explain this to me so that I can provide whatever information is lacking.
