This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs to
The comment the reviewer left was:
- meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria
- or cite multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject, which cover the subject in some depth
There are not many changes since the last reviewers' comments, and they still apply. Here are some specific issues.
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 after they have been resolved.
a) To get notability on an academic basis then WP:ACADEMIC applies, and there are some specific criteria there. At this stage it's not clear that notability is proven for any of the criteria.
b) To get notability on a non-academic basis then the requirement is under WP:BASIC and that requires significant coverage, and in-depth. Databases and interviews aren't sufficient, what is needed is someone else, who is independent, writing about the subject, as a person. One area that may help is if the subject's work has been discussed in (for example) a book review.
c) The initial writer declared a WP:COI quite correctly, the new submitter has a name similar to the subject and yet there is no WP:COI that I can see. Indeed the new submitter removed the COI label from the previous updates. Some clarity on this is needed.
As a general point, notability here is based on Wikipedia's policies, and may be different to other definitions. Many, perhaps most, scientists, academics, won't get an article because of this approach.- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ulrich B.
