[edit] Shalom Dov Wolpo

WP:BIO, his books seem to be self published, I don't think that he qualifies for an article yet. PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 12:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Please note that PinchasC is nominating this article for deletion because he is a Chabad anti-messianist, and he wants to keep all material about chabad messianists out of wikipeida. This guy is the originator of Chabad messianism which is why he (a) he is 100% notable and (b) PinchasC wants this article deleted.m Also note that his books have been discussed in numerous scholarly books and journals as they represented a paradigm shift in Chabad thinking.

The above is not true, I don't have the time to get into a petty argument now as to the conspiracy theories of why I nominated this article. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 13:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Right, so why have you nominated an article for deletion (part of a patern) which has numerous not-trivial sources, and when you know full well that the man is very very notable? David Spart (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) 13:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep The man is very very notable within the Haredi, and Israeli political world - indeed this article is largely a translation of the Israeli article on this man - which has much more material. He is regularly mentioned in the Hebrew press, and even the international press for example here, here, here,here, here, here, here and many many more. I think that amply demonstrated that this man is notable by any wikipedia standard. David Spart (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) 13:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO --Oskar 13:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC) Weak Keep Looking at it again, I change to Weak Keep. --Oskar 17:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep per above. More than enough reliable sources presented to establish WP:V and meet WP:BIO. --Shirahadasha 20:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per everyone else. Acalamari 23:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per bountiful sources added that establish notability. --MPerel ( talk | contrib) 04:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep While his sources are self- published, they are nevertheless the main sources of messianic Chabad, they are quoted by other, friends and foes of Chabad, as the primary texts on the topic.--Jayrav 17:42, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep this notable Israeli Chabad rabbi (sorry, even a supposed meshichist can have his day in court.) IZAK 08:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
