Abrahám Pressburger

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Only source given is an interview, which does not meet the independence criteria; no coverage in RS found. Does not meet WP:SOLDIER either. Catrìona (talk) 04:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable personality of the WWII and important witness of the Holocaust. The article now contains three reliable, substantial and independent sources in Czech. There is a lot of room for improvement and deletion would be a disservice for Wikipedia. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 04:44, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The radio program is a valid reference. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:48, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: Under WP:GNG, "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Of the three sources mentioned by Vejvančický, two of them in my opinion do not meet that criteria. Unedited interviews, which this source is, do not count as independent of the subject. I am not convinced of the reliability of this source, because it says at the bottom of the page that "If you also have an interesting story from the war or the communist era, or someone from your neighborhood, write to us." Personally, I think the subject of the article is very interesting, but not notable. The fact that he is a Holocaust survivor does not relate to his notability, and Wikipedia is not the place to right great wrongs. Catrìona (talk) 05:16, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * @Catrìona, please note that Czech Radio is the public radio broadcaster of the Czech Republic, not a platform where you can self-publish everything what you want. I'll try to continue in defense of this article but I apologize if not because my time dedicated to this project is limited. Thank you. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 20:18, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to imply that. I am unconvinced that two journalistic articles that appear to be based on an interview are sufficient to write a good Wikipedia article. Although the Czech Radio is a national, publicly funded broadcaster and I would usually consider it a reliable source, its coverage of the Prague uprising is quite distorted and as a result I have become skeptical about it.

 * Here is a detailed article/bigraphy at Aktuality.sk - a notable Slovak media outlet (Pressburger is a Slovak Jew rather than Czech).  Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:24, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
