Draft:Benjamin Freidenberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Many of your references have no value in establishing notability, though they do establish that Freidenberg exists. An example is https://en.linguistics.huji.ac.il/people/benjamin-freidenberg. Please extrapolate to the other similar ones and simple cut them out. They produce WP:BOMBARD
    At present I am not persuaded that you have shown that he passes WP:NFILMMAKER, nor WP:NACADEMIC. You have presented him as WP:ROTM, not as a perps who passes WP:BIO.
    Mindful of your accusation about another reviewer made in this edit I want you to be clear. This is. review of the draft, and is not personal. I advise you to confine yourself to improving the draft.
    To help you, this is what we require: For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 19:57, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
