Talk:Rudolph Marks

I don't think this should be deleted
I realize we are short on independent documentation of notability here, but that's not uncommon for people who wrote almost entirely in Yiddish, especially if virtually all writing about them was in Yiddish. Few, if any, Yiddish-language newspapers can be found online; there are not all that many books about Yiddish-language performing in any language other than Yiddish, and those in Yiddish are not well catalogued.

Jacob Adler, the one citation I have here, was by any standard among the half-dozen most important actors in the history of Yiddish theater. Many would account him the most important. I'm pretty comfortable saying that if he considered Marks worth singling out for mention in his memoir as someone who had a brief but notable career in the 1890s, he knew whereof he spoke.

Obviously, if someone wants to make this an actual DR I can't stop that, but I am removing the Proposed deletion tag. I don't think this should happen without much more of a discussion. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 18:59, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
