Robert Rosenfeld
Hi! I normally add that welcome template above, as it gives some useful links and helped me when I first started here. In regard to Robert Rosenfeld, the problem you face is that notability on Wikipedia means something different to notability in the real world. What it tends to mean here is that it is possible to develop an encyclopedic article on the subject using good sources. With people, that typically means showing that the person is mentioned in reasonable detail in newspaper or magazine articles, books, or other printed publications that we can use. Being successful, having patents, and other achievements all make it seem likely that the person has had sufficient coverage, but they're not really what we need to build the article with. So to keep the article from being deleted you need to show that he's had coverage in reliable sources. I've had a look, and it seems that this may be the case, but I wasn't able to get anything really solid that I could use. Perhaps you're in a better position to grab something? If you need any help with formatting or anything with the article just let me know and I'll do what I can. - Bilby (talk) 05:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
