  • 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)
