Koidanov dynasty
I have recreated your article on the Koidanov dynasty. It had been deleted based on not asserting the notability of this group, but I disagree with that deletion criterion because I believe that a Hasidic dynasty that dates back almost 200 years certainly has a credible assertion of notability. I have also cleaned up and Wikified your article. Please keep in mind that the vast majority of English Wikipedia readers are not Hasidic jews, so the use of lots of terminology that is specific to that population (words such as sefer, beth midrash (and its plural batei midrash), siddur, etc) should be avoided, or, at the very least, explained with appropriate Wikilinks. Your article is still in danger of deletion, however, since it does not cite any sources, and as such, the information contained in the article cannot be verified. Please address this shortcoming, lest the article be deleted again. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
