Bruce Mazlish

Hi Lucybell11, you left a message on my Talk page about Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bruce Mazlish, but I think it will be better if I reply here. Looking again at your draft, I'd be fairly certain Mazlish meets Wikipedia's notability criteria for academics because he's an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for longer than most of us have been alive! It's convenient that he won the Toynbee Prize in it's first year and then became President, but I'll assume it is an important prize that counts for something.

If you want to resubmit the draft for review (click the Resubmit button) I will move it to the main article space. However, if you have reviews of his books it would be fantastic if you could add them too. Your article is severely lacking in reliable (journalistic/academic) coverage about Mazlish and/or his work. You don't really need a citation for every one of his publications, but it will help cement his 'notability' if you can prove that one or more of his works was particularly important/widely noticed.

Hope that all makes sense! Sionk (talk) 20:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Makes a lot of sense! Thanks for taking the time to explain in more detail where the lack of information is. I appreciate it and will follow your advice with the reviews.
