How many pieces of third party sources are needed?

Is this the example of one? http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/features/community/cjn-s-jews-of-interest-frank-rosenwein/article_ff6bcc97-a982-5d27-b221-f1b58732b834.html

Hello. I found what I believe to be a reliable source to get the Jordan Lawson page on Wikipedia. It's a THIRD PARTY, Journalist written, Biography about the actor's career. It explains a lot of details about his career, life, credits, movies/TV the actor has been in, etc. Is this something that would be considered a reliable source for the reviewer? Please let me know. Thank you. ***(I just added the third party source about Jordan Lawson. bio, credits, film/TV, other info. Please let me know if this will satisfy Wikipedia to get the draft approved. Thanks again.

Would you mind adding the source to the draft? Third-party is good, but it's difficult to judge these things based on generic descriptions. EricEnfermero (Talk) 05:11, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the draft, I just added the third party source I was talking about. Bio, life, credits, film, TV, other info. This gives a lot of details about Jordan Lawson and confirms the IMDB link source that's already above it. Thanks

Just as an update on this situation, the source in question was not a third-party reliable source. It was a public relations profile — written by the subject himself or someone directly affiliated with him, and credited to a publication which doesn't even exist in a transparent attempt to make it look more independent and "third party" than it really was — which was submitted to a press release distribution platform for the express purpose of creating "sources" for this article. And for added bonus, the submitter misrepresented this discussion, falsely claiming that the source had already been reviewed and deemed perfectly acceptable even though the only response they were given here was that we'd have to see the source before we could evaluate it.

This article was declined by SwisterTwister. Can I get more detail as to the problem with sources? I believe the sources cited are reliable and independent of the subject. They include two articles in The Washington Post, one an editorial written on Scheiber's retirement. For the Washington Post to write an editorial on someone's retirement is an exceedingly rare occurrence. The interview with Walter Scheiber by Don Nicoll is part of the Edmund Muskie Archive at Bates College. Coverage of Scheiber's contributions to his field appearing in The Washington Post help to establish the subject's notability, and the interview offers more detail on his work. Please explain what part of this is failing to meet the criteria of notability and acceptable sources, so I can revise accordingly. If the problem is with the press release from MWCOG and the NARC website, I can remove them and I believe the subject's notability will still be supported. I have additional sources, including articles from Washingtonian magazine, the Washington Star, and the Montgomery County Sentiinel.
