[edit] Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov

No references, speculative, and reads like an ad. Not notable for Wikipedia. Páll (Die pienk olifant) 08:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as per PZFUN. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 08:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - a google search returns 73 hits, with this article at the top. [1] --Nydas 09:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep A google search means nothing with respect to the notability of a communal leader of the 18th century. He is the originator of a Hasidic dynasty which has an article, but I think you'll find that two centuries after his life, his books are available for purchase online: [2][3]. The fact that Wikipedia comes up first in Google is only a sign that Wikipedia is a popular web site. Please use common sense and don't just assume that if Googling it doesn't find gold then it isn't gold. jnothman talk 10:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - the page really needs some references to support the notability of this person.--Nydas 10:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
    • It may be hard to find direct references online: Frustratingly, those who are generally involved in the Zidichover Rebbe's works will not use the internet. Offline, there should be books on hasidism that should mention the Zidichov dynasty, but I'm not sure where or in what language. As is traditional in Judaism, a famous rabbi may be referred to by the name of his major work. To this extent [4] gives us reference to people that have cited him in making responsa, and a story about him. By the nature of clerical and religious modesty, one is unlikely to have enormous amounts written on their life, but will have references to his teachings. jnothman talk 11:39, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
