Comment: Everyone in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/59256 is notable, and his inclusion in this, the Jewish Encyclopedia, and the Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History https://books.google.com/books?id=spOxzrifZjcC&pg=PT52 meets the requirement of  for multiple in-depth reliable independent sources. As for the nomination's claim that having overlapping interests makes a source non-independent: it is to laugh. Independence, in this context, means that the source had no direct financial or personal connection to the subject, which is as far as I know true. If we could only use sources that were uninterested in our subjects, we'd have very little to write about, because the mere existence of a source would call into question its independence (why did they write about that subject unless they found it of interest

Comment: There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the Jewish Encyclopedia as an independent source. It is a topical encyclopedia on a broad topic. Similarly, it would be perfectly find to use, say, a Mathematical Encyclopedia as an independent source for a Wikipedia article about a mathematician, unless there was actual close connection between that mathematician and the publishers of that encyclopedia. So to suggest that the Jewish Encyclopedia should be excluded as independent source for Louis Barnett Abrahams because he is Jewish is absurd. More than that, it's offensive. David Eppstein makes a convincing case above for why the subject satisfies . There are additional sources if one cares to look for them. E.g. there is an obituary about himhttps://books.google.com/books?id=hJQ9AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA180&lpg=RA1-PA180&dq=%22Louis+Barnett+Abrahams%22&source=bl&ots=Lb1zZqPgTe&sig=B5s6kxf-j3BJTVxN7EUjxsBfvcA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9quPXnaHPAhVBKyYKHV6SDYA4ChDoAQgdMAE#v=onepage&q=%22Louis%20Barnett%20Abrahams%22&f=false  in the 1919 edition of Burke's The Annual Register. A search for his name in the archiveshttp://archive.thejc.com/search/jcs.jsp# of The Jewish Chronicle returns several hits, including a  May 6, 1938 article referring to him as "correspondents remember that Louis Barnett Abrahams, famous headmaster of the Jews Free School, London...".  Also a short article https://books.google.com/books?id=9FRJAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA262&lpg=PA262&dq=%22Louis+Barnett+Abrahams%22&source=bl&ots=1DLnfu_q4v&sig=fl7GnydgGCkyiXQ_Pnsb8uOqOnU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9quPXnaHPAhVBKyYKHV6SDYA4ChDoAQghMAM#v=onepage&q=%22Louis%20Barnett%20Abrahams%22&f=false about  the presentation of several portraits, including his. Etc. Certainly passes  by over a mile
