Comment: This is still depending far, far too heavily on primary sources that are not support for notability. For example, you do not establish a person's notability as a writer by "referencing" his books to the self-published websites of his books' own publishers; you do not make a person notable by referencing anything to YouTube or Vimeo videos; you do not make a person notable by referencing anything to podcast interviews in which he's talking about himself; you do not make a person notable by referencing anything to press releases self-published by any organization or institution; and on and so forth.
