Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Israel

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Israel. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary, it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Israel|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Israel.

Clearly unntoble. It cites Israeli government. Nytimes does not mention "Beit Hanan". 1956 Eilat bus ambush cites 2 sources only, not enough for notability. -- Maudslay II (talk) 09:33, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

keep the article needs to be completely re-written WP:TNT but there seems to be enough coverage in RS to meet WP:GNG. --hroest 00:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

• Comment. I'm concerned that I was unable to verify any of the sources in the article, which otherwise look like they ought to be verifiable. I'll point out that there's another Neil Lazarus (b. 1953) in post-colonial studies who shows some signs of notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:21, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Lazarus does appear to have clips of relevant sources on his website FYI. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:29, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

• Comment - I am concerned that it seems like the article has included promotional language since its creation (possibly self-promotional), and by the great amount of promotional content one has to sift through in order to find relevant sources. It makes it harder to assess the sources that do exist. My hunch is that there's a marginal case for notability here, but I'm not sure where I land yet... — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 12:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
• Delete. So heavily promotional that it could be a case for WP:CSD#G11, it is not obvious that any of the sources present in the article are in-depth, neutral, reliable, and independent, and good sources were also not obvious in searching. I'm not convinced that he doesn't pass WP:GNG, but I'm also not convinced that he does, and in any case WP:TNT applies to the current text. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Not notable as an Entrepreneur and Physicist Sliekid (talk) 09:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Although I have not been here, in the English Wikipedia for a long time. But in the Hebrew Wikipedia I have been editing for many years. in my opinion Asher Holzer, a man who founded companies listed on the stock exchange, has many patents registered in his name and a very serious entrepreneur deserves to be in this Wikipedia as well. Hopefully Sliekid will read the sources again and agree with me. Eladkarmel (talk) 18:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I think folks who start and run publicly traded companies are notable. I bet the citations are out there and would like to see the author build this out. It's only been on here for a minute or two.Miaminsurance (talk) 20:53, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
• Keep as Holzer meets the WP:GNG. gidonb (talk) 02:41, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

• Delete: fails GNG. Sources currently linked in the article include:

1. an interview with the subject

2. and 6. article about company

3. list of patents

4. article about company

5. company homepage

7. article about company

8. company press release

9. company press release

10. WSJ article about his nomination to a position in a company. It's the best source here, and it has 4 paragraphs total. The two seen in the preview are the only two that talk about him.

11. article about company transaction

12. blip about company

13. article about company

Notability is not inherited, so the articles about his companies cannot be used to demonstrate his notability. Mottezen (talk) 08:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
