After looking through the sources, I agree with [[User:Someguy1221]]. Source #4 is in fact a reliable source, but it's the only one I see as helpful for [[WP:N|notability criteria]], which I think hasn't been quite established yet. #1 is a bio of the subject from a chemistry organization that he's a member of, as they don't source any of the info it might just be from his resume for all we can tell. #2 is a Wikipedia article, we can't use Wikipedia articles to source other Wikipedia articles. #3 is a listing of him at a university, #5 is his book and #6 is written by him as well. If you could find more like #4, from sources that aren't closely associated with the subject or written by the subject, that would help for notability reasons. <font color="Purple">[[User:Raven1977|Raven1977]]</font><sup><font color="Blue">[[User Talk:Raven1977|Talk to me]]</font></sup><sub><font color="Purple">[[Special:Contributions/Raven1977|My edits]]</font></sub> 18:48, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

WP:AFC submission comments and discussion

Comment: The sources provided are written by Brown (or come from organizations he's affiliated with). But sources for a biography must be about Brown, and have been written by a third-party. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


After looking through the sources, I agree with User:Someguy1221. Source #4 is in fact a reliable source, but it's the only one I see as helpful for notability criteria, which I think hasn't been quite established yet. #1 is a bio of the subject from a chemistry organization that he's a member of, as they don't source any of the info it might just be from his resume for all we can tell. #2 is a Wikipedia article, we can't use Wikipedia articles to source other Wikipedia articles. #3 is a listing of him at a university, #5 is his book and #6 is written by him as well. If you could find more like #4, from sources that aren't closely associated with the subject or written by the subject, that would help for notability reasons.
