What exactly qualifies an article as an independent reliable source??
 * Well, this particular noticeboard isn't very widely watched, and I suggest that you ask at the Teahouse, but the three references that you provided are your own web site and two advertisements. Also, as was asked on your talk page, are you associated with Big Frog?  If so, please see the notices on your talk page and make the disclosures.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I would like help with an article I am writing at the behest of a deceased professor's PhD students:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Syed_Hedayetullah

I have done a lot of work to provide sources (I have literally exhausted the internet), and have written his research summary based on his obituary which was given to me physically. Can someone please review this article as I am about to re-submit it for review and wanted to be sure it looked good before it went live. I had a few issues with notability with my first few drafts and I think given he was a Founding Fellow of the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Founder of the Agriculture College, Dhaka, and Director of Agriculture for East Pakistan, his notability is confirmed.

Thank you for the help! His PhD students and pupils will be very happy to have their mentor get the wiki page he deserves.
