Notability

Disclaimer: I am an employee of the Gladstone Institutes, but below is some information to be used for confirming Gladstone's notability. The facts and figures are taken from the "Finances" section of Gladstone's official website <http://gladstoneinstitutes.org> 1) Gladstone was founded with an $8 million trust from the estate of J. David Gladstone. That trust has now grown to more than $160 million. In addition, Gladstone has annual revenues in excess of $70 million. 2) The rate of funding for grants from the National Institutes of Health is at 32%. This is above the national average of 20%. 3) Gladstone employees more than 300 scientists, 27 of which are PI's. 4) Gladstone is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco. 5) A Google search for Gladstone returns more than 98,000 results. 6) Several of Gladstone's scientists are leaders in their field. This includes Shinya Yamanaka, Robert Mahley and Deepak Srivastava. Adholden (talk) 21:33, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Notability is established by the presentation of third-party sources with no affiliation with the article's subject. Can you provide reviews of this organization which were not written by this organization or its partners? Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:34, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you are doing right now - you should also know that information which has never been reported by any other entity other than the article's subject is considered non-notable. Notability is about other entities reporting things, not about self-publishing. Please comment. Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added additional new source from the San Francisco Business Times on Gladstone Institutes. The SF Business Times is an independent newspaper based in San Francisco, it is completely independent and not affiliated with Gladstone in any way. You will also note citations from the National Institutes of Health and the San Francisco Chronicle, which are also not affiliated with Gladstone. Adholden (talk) 17:11, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, great! Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:09, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

A lot of the sourcing comes from SF Business Journal, which is mostly behind a paywall. If anybody could find complimentary citations from other sources, it would be appreciated. Thanks. — BriefEdits (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
