[edit] Alon Kastiel
This guy is a bit of a bohemian and a bit of a real-estate agent, and non-notable at either of these things. Google search for "Alon Kastiel" in English yields mostly Wikipedia clones, thanks to this article's inclusion in the Real estate category. The "BBC Interview" link is not really an interview with Kastiel, but an article about Israeli elections, which passingly mentions the guy. The only substantial source about Kastiel in English is this article in Haaretz, which actually discusses pretty serious matters of Israeli wars, but has very little to do with this article and still doesn't establish notability of the person (the whole point of that article is that Kastiel is not unique). Searching in Hebrew for "אלון קסטיאל" yields results which are only marginally more substantial: they talk about a few lofts that he bought and sold and a few parties that he threw in them - mostly gossip-y material.

- Delete real estate mogul and art collector and not notable in either realm. Being rich ≠ being notable. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
