Need a bit of help here. Not sure how to improve this article for approval -- it seems the secondary source references are a problem and there is a quesiton of notability. In way of disclosure, I am a former client of Ms Sibbison and interviewed her for details for this article as I am not an attorney (nor am I being paid to edit this, nor am I an employee). Do I need to somehow include a COI statement in the article itself for having interviewed her? The information I received directed me to secondary source publications that I was not aware of.
Further, are there too many References for an article of this length? Do we have to have access to behind-the-paywall to put a reference in (e.g., Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly online requires a subscription). The References seem to be "reliable secondary sources" to me. Apologies for ignorance but any help appreciated. Henry01301 (talk) 22:26, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As for notability, Ms Sibbison is responsible for founding the first appellate law practice in Massachusetts and has set precedent that has actually changed the law in the fields noted in the article, and has published a novel about abortion based on a true story. She is retired (but not dead). Can all this be considered notable here? I've tried to understand the guidelines but it is not clear to me.
