[edit] Amnon Jackont

Only 528 results in Google[1], not notable enough. Useless article.

• Delete --Haham hanuka 09:03, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep An extremely well-known Israeli author and literary editor with over 600 hits on Google [2], appears in the Lexicon for New Israeli Literature [3], the Institute for translated Israeli literary authors [4] and has an article on the Hebrew Wikipedia, written by prime contributors of that project [5]—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gidonb (talk • contribs). Thank you Alhutch, I did forget to sign. gidonb 16:04, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It's still less than 1000. --Haham hanuka 18:37, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
    • 1000 seems fairly arbitrary. For a local figure, 600 may be plenty. Wikipedia:Google says taht Google may be used as a test of whether a term is in use, or whether something is verifiable, but even then is dubious. For notability, I would not use Google as a measure unless someone's claimed notability was in the online world, where I would surely expect sufficient reference. The only accepted criterion for authors is found at WP:BIO. jnothman ^talk 23:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Thank you for your explanation. I now get over 900 hits. [6]. This user frequently tries to remove information. gidonb 12:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • This is not a speedy keep. A speedy keep can only arise when there are no other votes to delete and a nomination was either withdrawn, vandalistic, or clearly disruptive. Please try another vote. Stifle 22:05, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Stifle, I support continuing the regular procedure as you suggest and as it developed. That said, I see this nomination as clearly disruptive. The nominator, who is indefinitely banned from the Hebrew Wikipedia, can read in Hebrew that Jackont has an extensive article at he.wikipedia and is a notable and in fact a multiple times bestselling author and television personality. By luck I found out that so much creative work was about to get lost (edits started elsewhere; there was an error with the article movement). Regards, gidonb 22:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep appears to be a notable person.--Alhutch 16:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, this author is also something of a hero for exposing serious crime in Israel, see Amnon Jackont#Trojan horse exposure, so why pick on him? I just don't get it. IZAK 16:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: appears to pass WP:BIO both by criterion as an author (presumably) and by reknown through newsworthy events. jnothman ^talk 23:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 04:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Gidonb and reference as per his illustrations. What we are looking for reliable sources to meet our verifiability policy which have been supplied above. Capitalistroadster 00:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
