Nice young man, but this article is a violation of: WP:NN; WP:NOT#WEBSPACE; WP:COI (formerly WP:VANITY). The "Sources" in the article are misleading and do not establish notability. All young rabbis today are busy with getting their PR on the web and they usually work hard to get mentioned in the media somehow, but that does not make them notable as rabbis nor as public personalities. There are thousands of minor rabbis that have done more, but they are no more deserving of articles either. IZAK 14:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete although those are reliable sources, I don't believe that every single person ever mentioned in them deserves an article in an encyclopedia. As said in the nomination, definitely not notable enough. hmwith talk 15:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, not really important mentions. Ab e g92contribs 17:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I agree with Abeg92 that the problem here is marginal mentions and hence insufficient sources demonstrating notability. With the possible exception of the New York Times article, the independent sources listed so far don't really make him a substantial focus. For example, the Wall Street Journal source is a letter to the editor -- marginal as a reliable source -- and it mentions him only because he happens to be the current Rabbi of a synagogue which had previously switched from Orthodox to Conservative (which was itself incidental to the letter-writers opinion on the subject of Mechitza). It's just not about him as all and says nothing of substance. Likewise sources such as the Katrina project aren't independent. Similarly, I don't believe being the rabbi or minister of a congregation hosting a local politician creates notability since such events are incidental to clergy and happen all the time. So I don't really see enough sources here which are clearly (a) reliable, (b) independent, (c) cover him in a substantial way and say enough about him to support a biography under WP:BLP. If there were additional sources addressing these issues my view would change. The article appears to be a good-faith biography effort, just an insufficiently sourced one, so I don't see any issue of WP:NOT. --Shirahadasha 17:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
