Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph J Sherman
Assuming Sherman is notable, he would be notable for the same reason anyone is - that he has been noticed by reliable sources.  There is no need for the article to say "he is notable because X".  On the second point, the article does indeed need work, but AfD is not for cleanup. Not the relevant question: is Sherman notable?  Sources 2, 10, & 14 are reliable and in depth coverage. (I am making a small assumption that the Hebrew source, #10, is truly Sherman as I can't read Hebrew.)  That would make Sherman notable under the |GNG
