The result was Delete. This is the consensus, though I have a sense that a wider search might produce sources that we could use. I'm willing to userfy the article for anyone who wants to work on it further. His article in the Hebrew Wikipedia seems to have a longer reference list, though I can't read what it contains.

• Delete subject does not appear to meet WP:BIO nor does the article about the subject contain reliable sources from independent publications. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 18:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - Has been reviewed by the Jerusalem Post as noted here [1]. However, that was over 7 years ago and only minimal coverage. Nothing, since that time, that I could find. Sorry, at this time, just falls short. ShoesssS ^Talk 20:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Contemplate I wish the Israeli coverage was such that every Natan_Zach disputant got an article. Then again -- isn't three books a defacto notability guideline? Or are poets different? Or does it depend on having an editor who really writes on Israeli poetry, as opposed to a one-login-only user writing promotional material? Yudel (talk) 02:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • On the other hand, according to [his entry in the lexicon of modern Hebrew literature], he is hardly the least notable [contemporary Israeli poet].... and if his two volumes of poetry had been reviewed in The New York Times, would that not constitute notability? Should an American poet in the New York Times be more notable than an Israeli in the local equivalent?
• Delete Google reveals nothing convincing. — Wenli ^{(reply here)} 03:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep but the informal list of critical commentary in the article needs exact citations to demonstrate it. DGG (talk) 04:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per Shoessss and others, cannot locate anything which would sustain the needs of our biographical guidelines for inclusion. (jarbarf) (talk) 23:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - He seems NN, and frankly there's always going to be a certain discrimination in 'old cultural' areas are not as visible on the net to verify, but the HE wp tolerates him, so I guess that is sufficient for english wp. --Shuki (talk) 22:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
  • It is irrelevant that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS on other Wikis, as each one has their own individual standards for inclusion. Unless the problem can be resolved through editing, the English language version of this article fails WP:BLP at present. RFerreira (talk) 21:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete per Wenli, Coccyx and Shoessss. This person has not been the subject of non-trivial coverage anywhere. RFerreira (talk) 21:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
