Draft:David Alexander Schwadron

  • Comment: I have checked all the references except the 1972 NY Times one, the communitynewspapers one (404, no archive) and the bisnow one (locked to me). All the ones I can access are passing references to the subject, not significant coverage. The article says the NYT one is about his grandfather, not him. The subject lines of the two I can't access suggests they are similar, but even if they provide significant coverage, this would not be enough to satisfy notability guidelines.
