This is a one line stub about a staff member of a Jewish day school who does not meet any semblance of biographical notability on Wikipedia. Violates WP:NN, WP:BIO, and WP:NOT#USER. IZAK 07:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as non-notable per WP:BIO. Where are all these coming from? ;) EyeSereneTALK 19:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:BIO, WP:RS. Any reason this wasn't prod'ed as a CSD A7 in the first place? -- MarcoTolo 03:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete pending further sourcing./ It asserts notability, so it wasnt a speedy, and if it had been prodded the tag would have been removed, so it's here. this is an important yeshiva high school in a region of many orthodox Jews, and the position is I think equivalent to Dean of Students/spiritual director. That's not enough to show notability, and there is no evidence presented that he is notable even within his profession and denomination. ("staff member" is a little unfair--agreed he's not head of he school, but neither is he the janitor.)DGG (talk) 04:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment - Does saying someone is "esteemed" without any further elaboration count as an assertion of notability? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I've just always thought that valid claims of WP:N required an actual statement of what made the individual/group/institution notable - "Bob Jones was an important <blank>" without support seems to me to fall in the same category as "Jim Smith is a <blank>". Of course, the establishment of notability is based on WP:RS: I guess I'm asking the more basic question "Does a simple adjective serve to indicate an assertion of notability?" Thoughts? (and again, I'm not try to WP:WIKILAWYER, just re-examining my viewpoint). -- MarcoTolo 21:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
