Your submission at Articles for creation: Blackpenredpen (March 25)

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

I've enjoyed his videos, but this draft is not ready to become an article. This draft has no independent sources. (Interviews and his own content are not independent.)

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:Blackpenredpen 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.

Thanks for giving your time to look at this. I do have a couple questions if thats okay.

Is the first source (the pierce article) reliable enough?
How many reliable sources should be used for an article like this?
I've done a fair amount of searching and I cannot seem to find many other reliable sources, I have found reliable articles which reference some of his videos but any mention of him is brief. What would be a good metric to know when theres not enough reliable information on the internet to qualify for a deletion?
