A summary of some guidelines you may find useful

 * Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes ( ~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
 * Always cite a source for any new information, using, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject - Ori Kalmus does not appear to meet this qualification.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.
 * Article content should be relevant. Just because a concept is mentioned in a book or movie does not mean the book or movie should be mentioned in that concept's article.
 * Assume good faith as much as reasonably possible, and then about half-way past the border for unreasonable possibility. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:21, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Most people on this planet of 7 billion people don't meet Wikipedia's standards for notability; and therefore, don't get articles about them in Wikipedia
I don't; I suspect you don't; and neither does Ori Kalmus. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Notability of Ori Kalmus
I sympathize with your position but do not totally agree. However, this discussion belongs on the the List of Lafayette College People page, not in a private email to me. And why escalate into a Editor Assistance: Requests?Bellagio99 (talk) 01:10, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
