[edit] Gili Bar-Hillel

I am the subject of this article. I don't think I'm particularly notable, there are dozens of Harry Potter translators who do not have their own articles here. I suspect this article was created as a ploy to get me to expose my real identity on Wikipedia, by a sockpuppet of a user who was blocked for doing just that (see: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Requesting immediate action) I don't see how this article can currently be expanded from a stub. And I'd rather not have my own article. In fact the only reason I'm not deleting it myself is that I believe due process requires this article to be treated as any other. --woggly 08:07, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Nice to see some modesty here, but I think that translating an enormous best-seller like Harry Potter puts your name on millions of copies and does make a person notable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Or rather, this article was created by User:Idf-barak who seems to be a sockpuppet of a banned contributer in which case this might be a WP:CSD G5 speedy candidate (depending on whether the other contributors to the article made significant contributions). But when it comes to notability, I think it passes the bar. Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete CSD G5, Wikipedia needs articles but this is not the way to do it. No other contributors have seemed to have made significant contributions to the article. Sugestion that the page be made a redirect to Harry Potter in translation and the page history blanked to stop restoration.--blue520 10:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
