NN rabbis

Here is another that is NN Shlomo_Porter--Jayrav 01:31, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

ANd Yaacov Haber AND Levi Brackman And Barry Freundel AND Eli Mansour ANd Yaakov Luban ANd Shraga Simmons And Zvi Block Can people look these over and see if any are worth keeping. Most seem like NN vanity pages for out reach rabbis. I am not going to do anything but they should be looked at. --Jayrav 01:47, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

R' Shlomo Porter Is not NN. Gut Voch

--Shaul avrom 01:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Porter's ok... - crz crztalk 02:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Suggest we not use the word vanity here. It's not vanity to write a good-faith article on someone who simply happens not to be sufficiently notable. As the policy says, "Avoid using the word "vanity" in a deletion discussion — such an accusation may be defamatory. Please assume good faith, and don't bite the newcomers." (emphasis original). Shavuah Tov. --Shirahadasha 02:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank You. I will avoid vanity and limit it to NN. (Yet, in 1 or 2 of the cases it looks like the Rabbi himself had his resume placed on the web. WOuld that have been a problem?) I have noticed that some fields have criteria for notability. There does not seen to be one for Rabbis. Since I do not know any of the Rabbis involved, do we have any criteria? On the academic and literary pages thay say that having authored a book, or two, is not enough to be notable. --Jayrav 05:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

As usual per WP:BIO, multiple non-trivial independently published works about the person will do. - crz crztalk 05:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I prodded Haber and Brackman. Everyone else looks ok, notability wise, Block is a little shady, and Eli Mansour is quite popular, and though he may fail the multiple non-trivial works test, the wide wide circulation of his tapes is enough I think. But I wish we had a source for the circulation, my knowledge of which is OR. - crz crztalk 05:39, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Yesodei Yisroel

I prodded this article. It is a NN yeshivah and the article was written by students there as a sort of forum, check out the talk page. Yesodei_Yisroel Yossiea 15:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Book of Jashar is under Prod

Article definitely needs work, but might be a legitimate topic. Can someone with more specialized knowledge review? Thanks. GRBerry 03:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

"Open Orthodoxy" & Avi Weiss

User:Shirahadasha has created an new article called "Open Orthodoxy" - about a new notion (that is "neither fish nor fowl") recently coined by Rabbi Avi Weiss. After having been asked about it, I attempted to redirect Open Orthodoxy to the Avi Weiss article and post all its content there because on it's own it's a neologism in violation of Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms, but Shirahadasha has reverted my redirect. What do you think should be done, please add your views at Talk:Open Orthodoxy. IZAK 09:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
