[edit] Ilan Manulis

Good-faith submission. After someone copied text from the Hebrew wiki a month ago, I translated it from the Hebrew, and put a notability tag on it. Since then, there has been no improvement. I just don't think it's notable. In essence, he is a past president of the Israeli Astonomical Association (not known how many astronomers in Israel) and he has an asteroid named after him (not known how precious that really is).

• Delete. I doubt he passes WP:BIO. Using Google, I can't verify (though maybe others can) the claim that he's got an asteroid named after him. Wouldn't say he's achieved fame or notoriety even if an asteroid was named after him. Google and Lexis-Nexis suggest he's not the primary subject of multiple non-trivial publications. As for the Israeli Astronomical Association, with 178 unique ghits, no results on Lexis-Nexis, and its English website being down, I'd say that the association, and especially its past president, is probably not notable. The bottom line, though, is that unless someone can come up with references, the article has to be deleted per WP:V. Pan Dan 18:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
