{{ source assess

| source = Yale University Library

| ind = -

| ind_just = I know from personal experience that if you donate something like this to a library they don't just take it for free. The family or company probably had to pay to at least maintain the collection

| rel = y

| rel_just = it's a university library from a regionally accredited institution so I'm going to assume it's reliable

| sig = -

| sig_just = Mentions that Sack created an archive at the library but does not give any detail about him.

• Keep Here are two more sources entirely about Sack. One in Antiques & the Arts Weekly [https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/the-fine-points-of-albert-m-sack-1915-2011/] and the other in Antiques [https://www.themagazineantiques.com/article/albertsack/] Thriley (talk) 12:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
• :{{yo|Dr vulpes}} what do you think? There are certainly more sources out there about him. these are just ones that came up after a quick search. Thriley (talk) 12:55, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
• Keep I found this https://www.afanews.com/home/item/486-albert-sack-first-and-last although what was already found is convincing enough. Dream Focus 13:42, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
• Keep sources listed above are enough for GNG Oaktree b (talk) 14:16, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
• Keep based on the multiple and extensive obituaries, any two of which (including an NYT obit!) makes this an WP:BASIC pass. [https://archive.org/details/objectsofdesire00that/page/152/mode/2up?q=%22Albert+Sack%22 This source also looks interesting]. FOARP (talk) 16:54, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
• Keep Highly influential in the field of American antiques and collecting, significant coverage in independent published sources, meets WP:BASIC. His book Fine Points of Early American Furniture was reviewed in [https://www.jstor.org/stable/1916139 The William and Mary Quarterly] and [https://www.jstor.org/stable/4632385 The Wisconsin Magazine of History] so he might meet WP:AUTHOR too. Article does need cleanup and expansion but lacks basis for deletion. Topshelver (talk) 21:58, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
• Strong keep: Agree with the overwhelming consensus. Passes the criteria of WP: GNG with flying colors. Although the article needs quite a bit of work. KlayCax (talk) 22:18, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

:: Suggesting a close and keep. An overwhelming consensus now seems clear. KlayCax (talk) 22:19, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

• Keep. IMHO WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC are easily met, The New York Times is definitely RS, Antiques (magazine), Antiques and the Arts Weekly and American Federation of Arts are SIGCOV and cited/discussed by other RS with WP articles so are likely reliable as well. This might weakly meet WP:NAUTHOR as well given the two reviews. VickKiang (talk) 00:15, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

• Keep revisions to the article have addressed my concerns about WP:NBIO and sources have enough to pass now. Thanks for all the work every put into this article. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 01:16, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
