Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Lijil 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:
Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, WP:NACTOR) but presently it is not clear that it does. You would need to show that he acted in a number of films, but that he had multiple significant roles in notable films (see WP:Notability (films) to find out what counts as a notable film. So don't just list the films, but show what was said about them in reliable, independent sources. Substantial coverage about Applebaum himself in reliable, independent sources would also be helpful.
Please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
It is important that you don't make claims that aren't supported by your sources. For example, you wrote that "Party" was "praised for its original voice and emotional resonance" but that is not stated in the source you reference, which is an interview that states the short film is in post-production, so it is not a review of the film.
Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being the subject (see WP:AUTOBIO) or being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:NACTOR criteria #3, because XXXXX").
This article provides substantial coverage of Tom Appelbaum as a standout contestant on the nationally broadcast *So You Think You Can Dance Israel*, a widely viewed program.
2. Lead role in *The Exchange*, documented by NFCT (New Fund for Cinema and Television):
