Notability[edit]

Regarding the question on notability in the template that was added to the article, it asks for "reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic and provide significant coverage of it beyond a mere trivial mention". All 4 references in the article (3 in further reading, and the one in the references section) are of this nature. Note that the first one is an article on Ussishkin in the Encyclopedia of the Founders and Builders of Israel (effectively the Who's who of the Yishuv and beginning of Israel), which also demonstrates notability per the notability guidelines that include the criterion "The person has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary". I added a link to the online copy of the article on Ussishkin in this Encyclopedia. It should also be noted that Ussishkin's mention in the references by Yossi Katz on the JNF are not "a mere trivial mention" but describe in detail the important role Ussishkin played for the JNF in the newly created State of Israel. Adding to that, Ussishkin is the author of 5 published books. Taken together, I think the article subject meets the notability requirements of Wikipedia.
