[edit] Benjamin H. Freedman

• del. I have no idea whether this person real or notable, but the article was deleted once and recreated without any improvement of verifiability. The provided links cannot be accepted as reputable, and some "evidence" is outright false (Woodbury Soap Company Woodbury ad speaks about John H., not about Benjamin H.) I have no doubt there were quite a few anti-Zionists (or anti-Semites, whatever label can be), but what exactly trace in the history he left to warrant an encyclopedia article? Unfortunately various Anti-Semitic sources are well-known for manipulations with history even to a greater degree than they ascribe to Jews. `'mikka (t) 19:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. The person is real. The article is currently being worked on, by myself, who have not a single anti-semitic bone in my body (by the way). He appears to be fairly notable. I'm still working on the sources. I am not the original author, by the way. I only got interested when I saw the conflict on the ANI board. Wjhonson 20:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: From what I can discern, this does appear to have been a real person, with some strong racial and religiously charged opinions during his time, to put it lightly. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 20:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep for now, it seems to be a different version from the stub that was first deleted (see here if you are an admin), information is verifiable. Is it notable? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to give this article time to expand. --Deathphoenix ʕ 20:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
