Lack of notability of subject of page Philbrick86 ( talk) 21:52, 16 February 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep - Appears to meet WP:BLPNOTE - well-known in his field, especially in the Jewish and New York political communities, has held a range of positions in various fields, has contributed/been quoted in highly regarded newspapers, the article is well referenced with independent sources. I'll be honest - if someone with more knowledge on the social and political context can provide an alternate view, I'd be willing to listen Olly say hi 22:29, 16 February 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - Google search reveals articles linked to constitute most news article mentions on the internet. Page the clear product of PR work. Uncertain notability to the general Wikipedia community. Appears to be successful, but that does not constitute notability per Wikipedia standards.

  • delete Reputable ethnic newspapers are RS, however, it would take some amount of significant coverage in larger-scale media to pass notability. What I am seeing, while real: [1], is too little to justify an article. And while he has held responsible staff jobs, he has not held a post that would pass notability unless there were profiles of him or discussions of his impact on policy (not necessarily as full-length articles, but at least as significant coverage within articles,) appearing in significant media.

  • Delete. The problem here is that a lot of the sources being cited here aren't about him, but merely namecheck him in passing while being fundamentally about somebody or something else — and the ones that are fundamentally about him aren't adding much in the way of substance. Nearly all of the sources which actually have his name right in the headline, for example, are covering him in the context of his role on a local public library board — which is not a role that gets a person over WP:NPOL. On both sourcing and substance, nothing here is enough. Bearcat ( talk) 22:09, 22 February 2016 (UTC) reply
