I find it weird that 10 sources of information, some are well-known newspapers and respected literary prizes, are not enough. Amir Segal is one of the most prominent voices among the up and coming Israeli poets, as evidenced by his two books, numerous poetry publications on and off-line. He also published a novel (referenced in the entry), and is considered considered one of the most important literature critics in Israel today. The entry devoted to him in Hebrew has been online for years, and the English value has at least 10 references.

It seems that nothing that the contributors add to the entry would be sufficient. Not the multiple references, not the entry in Hebrew prevents the entry from being targeted for deletion. Is this a political issue where Wikipedia contributors actively prevent another entry about an Israeli cultural figure to be posted in English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenitka101 (talk • contribs) 09:16, 11 August 2014 (UTC) — Zenitka101 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

there are few claims about that entry, but it seems they all get proper responds and yet this article is not aproved.

there are 18 sources for that entry.

there is an article in hebrew on that person for a long time. yet, it seems that those facts don't play a roll with that article.

I expect it to be treated fairly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenitka101 (talk • contribs) 02:02, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak delete: most of the sources now in the article are blogs, etc. One reliable source, a book review in Haaretz, only mentions Segal in passing. The question of Segal's notability was already raised at his article's talk page on the Hebrew Wikipedia (which has lower standards of notability than ours); the arguments for his notability were having his works published in several periodicals, having been a member of the board of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, etc.—none of which confer adequate notability here. He may meet the GNG from other coverage by Israeli media, but from there absence in the article, I doubt such sources exist. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 18:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I find this weird again. there are two reviews from newspapers websites - that relate exclusively to Segal. there is a source that is a notable archive of writers in Israel, and another one that is ess notable but yet has importance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenitka101 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Zenitka101: I see what the problem is: the links to the reviews you are referring to are not working at the English Wikipedia article due to a slight mistake in the link syntax. I found the correct links at the Hebrew Wikipedia article: http://www.maariv.co.il/news/new.aspx?pn6Vq=L&0r9VQ=FEMKI (a review in Maariv) and http://www.news1.co.il/Archive/003-D-55467-00.html (a review in News1). However, I don't think that two short reviews satisfy the English Wikipedia's notability criteria for authors. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 22:51, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

SO, anyway, there is more than "one source" for that entry. and it is worth mentioning again the writers archive of Beit-Ariela. among others in that entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenitka101 (talk • contribs) 06:06, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
