Your submission at Articles for creation: Laurel Road (November 2)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I looked at the sources offered here and do not see the sort of in-depth, independent coverage that would be needed to establish notability. The nerdwallet review may be the best one here and it's a consumer review of a service offered by the company, not exactly about the company.

not independent (based on interview) -- Zerucha, Tony. "Darien Rowayton Bank offers in-school financing for MBA students". Bankless Times.
not independent (authored by company officer) -- Aranoff, Aryea. "Dealing With Medical School Debt — Refinance or Forgiveness?". HuffPost.
brief mention only -- Krupnick, Matt. "Finally, More Ways to Refinance Student Loans". Time.
routine business announcement -- Cloud, Drew. "Darien Rowayton Bank Close Fifth Securitization Deal". The Student Loan Report.
not independent (puff piece by branding agency) -- "Brand Union develops Laurel Road, a new brand for DRB’s online lending". Brand Union.
brief mention only (publicity squib) -- Zerucha, Tony. "DRB rebrands online lending division as Laurel Road". Bankless Times.
review of service (not sure this is independent reliable source) -- McGurran, Brianna. "Laurel Road Student Loan Refinancing Review". NerdWallet.

I did not find much on Google to support the notability of the parent (DRB), either.

----

The tone and style of this submission fall short of what would be expected in an encyclopedia article about a business. It reads as promotional and at the same time is a dull listing of dates and events.
