The result was no consensus to delete, default to keep. The earlier opinions could not take his status as "Obie Yadgar" into account, for which Novickas has added references. Would probably have yielded a "keep" consensus after a relisting. Sandstein (talk) 07:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Obelit Yadgar

Obelit Yadgar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Writer who has paid to have books printed through notorious vanity press AuthorHouse. Both titles completely fail WP:BK. Google throws up nothing of consequence, significance, notability, or even general interest. Qworty (talk) 01:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete self-published or vanity-published books are a strong indicator of non-notability, and when that's the only claim to notability in an article, well, that's just plain sad. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment has books, are any of the books notable? Find sources: Obelit Yadgar – news, books, scholar SunCreator (talk) 02:12, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

No, they aren't. They're "published" by a vanity press, which by definition will publish virtually anything for a small fee. See vanity press, and specifically AuthorHouse. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Article looks like advertisement. Notability not established. --Abrech (talk) 07:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, would not even call it marketing as the entry is to weak for that and vanity publishing is not a good way to go. If we include this we will have to include every man and his dog PRasmussen (talk) 10:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as not notable.--Berig (talk) 17:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. He is much more notable as a radio host and as Obie Yadgar - the subject of profiles at Chicago Public Radio [1], the Chicago Sun-Times, [2] and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel [3]. Give me a day or two and I'll put info from those refs in the article. Novickas (talk) 00:39, 1 May 2008 (UTC) Added refs from those sources and from Zinda (magazine).

• Delete article fails to demonstrate notability per WP:BIO lacks references.--Rtphokie (talk) 00:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Keep a article is well-referenced with specific, in-depth articles about the subject in reliable secondary sources including the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and the Chicago Sun-Times which establish clear bright-line notability as a major-market broadcaster. - Dravecky (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per points made by Novichas. Please be aware that google search can be misleading. Chaldean (talk) 00:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
