Not as bad as the version I deleted as unsourced spam, but relies on a single obituary in a sympathetic publication. If he was genuinely notable I 'd expect multiple mentions in a wider range of RS sources Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:48, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I'll raise the Hamodia obit with an obit in the NYT which is generally a very strong indication of notability. This book - has some 4 pages on him. I added an interwiki to hewiki and yiwiki which have more sources (amply satisfying GNG). This was a rather major community leader the Viznitz hasidim in the US (Monsey) being fairly large, and his authority over this community being nearly absolute. Article creator is a newbie, and the article needs work, but WP:DONTBITE.Icewhiz (talk) 07:19, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. By the sources I see in Hebrew he is quite notable. I nominated the first version of the article for Speedy, so in this case I am quite okay with the current article, despite it requires quite a lot of cleanup of language. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 07:53, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep. He is a scion of the Vizhnitz Hasidic dynasty and a major rabbi in his own right in the US. I'll try to add some refs. Yoninah (talk) 10:31, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep. All of the above reasons. Please Use the External links as inline References. Thanks. --תנא קמא (talk) 12:25, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think most of the above issues are already solved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by תנא קמא (talk • contribs) 14:46, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The sources now in the article establish the strong claim of notability. Why weren't these sources found in a WP:BEFORE search? Alansohn (talk) 16:19, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
