[edit] Yigal Arnon

Yigal Arnon (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Bio article that may loosely meet WP:BIO (chairman of 5th this, 2nd that in one country). More problematic is a lack of WP:V from secondary sources online. Most links I have found lead to press releases and the person's business. Article also seems a bit WP:SPAMish. ju66l3r 22:41, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. No convincing proof of notability found through Google test. --Edcolins 23:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Did you google him in Hebrew? - crz crztalk 01:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Abstain. If he has represented Ehud Olmert, as recently added, well then I prefer to abstain. --Edcolins 20:55, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Israel-related deletions. --Shuki 00:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with Yigal Arnon & Co. - crz crztalk 01:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • See Talk:Yigal Arnon & Co.. --Edcolins 20:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Founder of one of the top three Israeli law firms (size, prestige). Very active in the Israeli business world. Google is not the WP barameter for N, especially for a foreign entity/person. --Shuki 01:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Google may not be, but reliable sources are. Add them or at the very least list them here or there is no verifiability. ju66l3r 18:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I just noticed there is a recent string of Israeli law firms and lawyers up for AfD and all of them have come from either User:Ju66l3r or User:Edcolins and with one exception, all of them include votes by one or the other, depending on who created the AfD. They include Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/S. Horowitz & Co., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamburger Evron & Co., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eitan Law Group and this one. I find this very troubling possible vote stacking. At User talk:Ju66l3r, there is actual discussion between the two in deleting ALL Category:Law firms in Israel articles! I won't charge an anti-israeli POV, but with all the anti-Semitism I've encountered recently in Wikipedia, I'm very disturbed that law firms or lawyers from this country are singled out for deletion. --Oakshade 23:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Link to my response to your baseless suggestions. Thanks. ju66l3r 01:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment This came up at WP:ANI and it looks like the bias allegation is well-intentioned but groundless. I'm glad some Wikipedians watch out for that kind of misuse. This nomination appears to be based upon policy without any unseemly taint. Durova^Charge 02:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Article reads somewhat like an advertisement, and lacks reliable sources. Printed articles commenting on this man or his work would be desirable under WP:RS. Since some editors above have complained about 'mass creation' or 'mass deletion' of articles, I think it's desirable that each article be carefully documented in its own right. There may not be any ongoing community of editors knowledgeable about this man who are willing to participate, so the references may not get any better in the future.

• Keep - source indicates he has represented Ehud Olmert. Also, have a look at this Google News Archive search - [1]...Addhoc 20:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Paying creedence to the Ehud Olmert and the Google News Archive listings Addhoc provided, seeing he's the primary subject of many articles. Just added the first Globes newspaper reference [2] to the article. --Oakshade 03:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
