[edit] Menachem Mendel of Kotzk

No references, speculative, and reads like an ad. Not notable for Wikipedia. Páll ^{(Die pienk olifant)} 08:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per PZFUN. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 08:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep the Kotzker Rebbe is an extremely important figure in Hasidic Judaism. Article does not at all read like an ad. Reference to the Kotzk hasidim (of whom the current subject was the leader) is found in the Jewish Encyclopedia article on Hasidism although their paper-based requirements excluded all but the most prominent personalities (despite which Dovber of Mezeritch who does have an article in the JE1906 was still nominated for deletion by the nominator here). Google only gives us 12000 non-Wikipedia references for this 19th century individual! jnothman ^talk 12:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I am really beginning to wonder about the motivation for deleting nominating these articles.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 12:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep I also think User:PZFUN has an agenda. I don't see any supposedly non-notable Christian (or Buddhist, or Muslim, or...) articles nominated. -- Kicking222 15:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
