This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Comment: Borderline notable; the best coverage is in the NYT article titled 'The Dear Abby of Immigration Law".
While I am declining this draft, I have created a redirect from Allan Wernick to the section on CUNY Citizenship Now in the CUNY article. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:47, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Interviews, his comments or what he has written is not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. Other sources are primary which is fine to use for verifiability but not useful for notability. S0091 (talk) 15:00, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

An editor has marked this as a promising draft and requests that, should it go unedited for six months, G13 deletion be postponed, either by making a dummy/minor edit to the page, or by improving and submitting it for review.
