[edit] Yaron Brook

Besides being the leader of an organization, which, in and of itself isn't necessarily notable, there is nothing else even remotely notable about Brook. --Jason Gastrich 04:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep There are obvious WP:POINT issues here but let's try to deal with each article on its own merits. In this case, I wouldn't want to be on a slow boat to China with him but that's not a good enough reason to delete the article. Dlyons493 Talk 04:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Me too. Speedy keep, sufficiently notable, president of a notable institute. Grandmasterka 10:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - notable and nomination is in bad faith. --Bduke 11:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - nomination may very well be in bad faith, but he gets only 20k google hits. Not notable enough of a commentator. --Pierremenard 12:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

How does 20k worth of hits make him unnotable? LBU has 300+ hits and it was kept. Arbustoo 01:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
