I think that nominating this article as a good article (GA) is somewhat premature. I did some research and found this biography, which gives a lot more background. For instance: his "assigned" birth date; his birthplace and education; as well as more background on his family. Furthermore, here and here you can find more background on his family. Here is more background on the Jewish community in Milwaukee. Raskin also published, you can find an example here. The article also misses an infobox and an image of the subject. In other words, the article needs expanding before it can be promoted. I hope the nominator will take up my suggestions and keeps improving the article. Good luck and happy editing. - DonCalo (talk) 00:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@DonCalo: After considering your comments, I agree. Thank you for the research you've done; I look forward to adding it into the article. Unfortunately, I'm pretty swamped in real life right now, so it may make sense to reject the GA nom for the time being. I can renominate and notify you once additional content is added, etc. Thanks, North of Eden (talk) 02:47, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@North of Eden: OK, as you suggest I will close as fail for the moment. Please notify me when you find the time to improve the article. Take care. - DonCalo (talk) 13:43, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
