[edit] Shlomo Porter

Shlomo Porter (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Run of the mill and non-notable rabbi. One of thousands of such people. Violation of WP:NN. This article reads like a self-advertisement and also violates WP:COI. IZAK 11:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete for above reasons. IZAK 11:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Two of the links for Baltimore Jewish Times articles don't work. It is hard to judge his notability when most of the references are no longer online. Jon513 11:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for above reasons. --Jayrav 16:30, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep he is the director of a very notable orginization. If you say we shouldn't have this page, then the Henry Lehmann and Congregation Shomrei Emunah pages shouldn't be here. just my 2 cents. --Shuliavrumi 02:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Go ahead and nominate those who fail Wikipedia's standards. There is a glut of non-noteworthy clergy that need to be trimmed. IZAK 06:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Rabbi Porter is not (as IZAK said) "a run of the mill ... Rabbi" He was one of the forerunners of the Baal teshuva movement is the 70s and also unique that is not Chabad. He has been the subject of a cover story (not a passing reference) of the Baltimore Jewish Times (here) as well as multiple other stories [1], [2] and has also often been quoted as a reputable opinion in matters relating to kiruv [3], [4], [5]. I assume that IZAK's concern of conflict of interest stem from the fact that IP edit are from baltimore however I don't think that is enough to base anything on as it is to be expected that there is greater interest about a Baltimore rabbi in baltimore. Also, while User:Crzrussian is no longer active he has expressed his opinion here that the article should be kept. Jon513 18:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Appears to have been the head of or leader in notable organizations. --Eliyak T·C 07:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
