Not really notable and seems to be created and edited by one user, likely the figure itself WP:COIN. --Bohbye (talk) 20:27, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
 * After further reading on the subject of the article i agree with Icewhiz and Bellezzasolo that he meets GNG, BIO, and BLP1E. Therefore I withdraw my nomination for deletion. I do think however it needs some rewriting and more than a single author. --Bohbye (talk) 08:43, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. Obviously not a COIN - which wouldn't describe him as "misanthropic" (which I shall remove). This is a very well known individual (for his divisive and unorthodox views expressed in a very public fashion) - with quite wide coverage - particularly in Hebrew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Icewhiz (talk • contribs) 07:02, 29 Apr 2018 (UTC)

Delete Non-notable Facebook troublemaker who has apparently hired someone to write about him. The author has never edited Wikipedia before. As far as I can see, all he is notable for is being fired from Ariel University --Geewhiz (talk) 07:02, 30 April 2018 (UTC).
 * Strong Keep. I wrote most of the entry. I am an Israeli, but I have no COIN here. It is enough to read the tone of my words to notice that. The name of Hetsroni appeared in the list of entries that were deemed needed. He is very famous in Israel - more as a public figure than as a pure scientist. I tried to point that in the text.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orenberg 1 (talk • contribs) 23:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, Troublemakers can be important.... Read here what a fuss his departure from Israel caused: https://www.timesofisrael.com/provocateur-amir-hetsroni-quits-israel/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orenberg 1 (talk • contribs) 09:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-well-known - preceeding comment added by 77.241.229.232.


 * Keep My grasp of hebrew isn't good, but has generated significant coverage in multiple reliable hebrew sources, as well as English. Seems to meet GNG and BIO, and I think given published works goes beyond BLP1E. &#x2230; Bellezzasolo &#x2721;   Discuss  23:57, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. We need to be careful to avoid making this into an attack page, but in-depth coverage specifically about him in IHE 2014 (footnote 4), JPost 2015 (footnote 14), INN 2018 (footnote 18), and ToI 2015 (Orenberg's link above), not to mention potentially others that I can't read because they're not in English, makes clear that he is notable on an ongoing basis. We probably shouldn't close this early despite the withdraw because of the delete comments, but the case looks clear. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
