Not notable. Raliah (talk) 18:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

• Uncertain leaning towards keep Seems to me that having a 30-year career in radio in a major-city market is notable in itself, but I'm not totally sure about expandability. Perhaps some Hebrew-language sources exist that could tell us more. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:03, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep, this should have some references available. --Merovingian (T, C) 20:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - the dates the subject was active in make it difficult to find online sources to establish the subject's notability, so I hope someone in the Toronto area can find an old archive or something. The best reference I could find was from *shudder* World Net Daily, where Joseph Farah refers to Yuchtman as "the true pioneer of the first Jewish radio show in Toronto." WND not being a reliable source, that's kind of neither here nor there. I'm neutral at the moment, and hoping someone comes up with results. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. Given that the subject was based in Toronto, any sources about him are likely to be in English, whether in the mainstream Toronto press or in Canadian Jewish newspapers. Unfortunately, they're also likely to be unavailable online. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep As it is not politically controversial ,I accept WordlNet Daily for notability in this instance. DGG (talk) 02:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
