Your submission at Articles for creation: William Berkowitz (February 9)
[edit]
Three out of four footnotes are cited to his obituary. While obituaries can be useful for establishing some key facts/dates in someone's chronology, they aren't good at establishing someone's level of fame, because by their nature obituaries praise the subject.
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 when they have been resolved.
What you need to do is find more news or academic sources (check GoogleBooks for the latter) that substantively discuss (not just slightly mention) Berkowitz and take note of his impact.
The core policy here is WP:Notability (people), and I would expect that Berkowitz meets that standard, but it's incumbent on you as the submitter to clearly prove such. Not trying to be difficult here, just saying that if Berkowitz merits an article, he merits a good one that makes a strong case for his impact, so let's hold ourselves and the draft to those high standards. Ping me on my Talk page, or ping WP:Teahouse if you need general advice on the draft.- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:William Berkowitz and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:William Berkowitz, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
- If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: William Berkowitz (June 7)
[edit]This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
- in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
- reliable
- secondary
- independent of the subject
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
