editAstuteFlicker, we're looking for three sources that provide significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Which three (and only three, please) are the best for that? Valereee (talk) 22:33, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Valereee,
- Thank you for your feedback regarding the need for significant coverage from independent and reliable sources. I believe these three sources (Source 1)[1], (Source 2)[2], (Source 3)[3] provide substantial information on the topic.
- I would really appreciate if you could have a look at them.

- @AstuteFlicker:, I am not Valereee, but can provide a bit of feedback on this: none of these passes muster, I'm afraid. Sources 1 and 2 are two copies of the same press release. Press releases are not independent and not secondary, and this one is extremely brief. In addition, when the same press release is published in two places, it's still only one source. The third source is based on an interview with Poonawalla, so it is also not secondary. --bonadea contributions talk 11:12, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Dear bonadea,
- Thank You very much for your time and valuable feedback on the Draft. While I understand that the sources I provided may not meet the standards, I would like to point out that there are several other sources that do meet these requirements. I have already added some of these, and many more are available online. However, since I was asked by Valereee to only include three sources, I selected the ones I thought were most appropriate at the time. I will work on adding more reliable sources to strengthen the draft.

- Yes, you were asked to indicate the three sources that most clearly meet the requirements for significant coverage in independent and reliable sources. (In addition, sources should be secondary, though that is not quite as fundamental as independence for showing notability). The two sources you suggested are not independent and one of them is extremely short (the opposite of significant coverage). Hence it's reasonable to assume that no significant coverage exists, I'm afraid. --bonadea contributions talk 15:43, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- I looked at the first, and it's not even significant coverage. Think of it this way: I have a limited amount of time to volunteer, and you just wasted some of it. Poonawalla can put anything he likes on his LinkedIn, but he doesn't appear to be notable. Valereee (talk) 16:09, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
AstuteFlicker Refs 6, 7, 8 and 9 do not confirm his law degree. Find one that does. David notMD (talk) 11:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hello David notMD
- If I do provide it would that be sufficient? AstuteFlicker (talk) 14:28, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
No. People who are appointed to political party positions rarely are considered Wikipedia-notable versus those elected in major gov't elections. David notMD (talk) 15:41, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
