This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Dodger67 8 years ago. | |
Comment: Any number of major reviews would've helped as long as it was a considerably large number. SwisterTwister talk 04:43, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Finding major book reviews will certainly add to Rosenbaum's notability, but his work in the organizing efforts of WashTech, University of Washington and the historic $15/hour minimum wage campaign (along with accompanying outside references) appear to meet the notability requirements as I read them. (Notable for more than 1 reason. Independent source confirmation. Connected to significant events (in this case, as part of the labor movement of the past 20 years). cpsarason-talk 22:47, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: What will establish notability here is finding all major book reviews for him. SwisterTwister talk 19:20, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
