User talk:Gramps101/Sylvester Z. Poli

This is my first article on Wikipedia (User Page), and I'm worried about refusal. It pertains to my great-grandfather. I do feel it is relevant. Any and all advice to gain article acceptance would be welcome and appreciated. --Gramps101 (talk) 23:07, 4 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The draft's sources need more work. You already have one footnote - you should add more to clarify which of the draft's sources supports which statement. Furthermore, something like "West Haven Historical Society of CT" is so vague it's useless - are our readers supposed to email the society for confirmation? Wikipedia content should be based on reliable published sources, and we should provide enough bibliographical details to allow our readers to look up the publication. Have you checked the Google News archive or the archives of the New York Times? Poli sounds as if he should have received quite some contemporary news coverage that we might use as sources.
