{{AFC comment|1=Far too much unreferenced content, and citing primary sources is not helping to establish notability. DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=I started going through the sources, and the first four didn't even mention Iglitzin, so I left it at that. When citing a source, you must make sure it actually supports the statement against which it is cited, otherwise it serves no purpose. So for example when making the statement {{tq|"Iglitzin received her Bachelor of Music at Indiana University, studying with Josef Gingold"}}, it is pointless to cite a source that simply talks about Gingold; we have no doubt that he existed. Instead, we need a source that verifies the stated facts, ie. a) that Iglitzin received a degree from Indiana U., and b) she studied with Gingold.
There is also far too much information here that isn't supported (or even quasi-supported) by any references. This is unacceptable in an article on a living person (WP:BLP). DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=We cannot accept unsourced WP:BLP drafts. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 23:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)}}
