Bais Shebbes

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Seems like a hoax. The sources are completely irrelevant and there isn't a single source even mentioning this yeshiva. Even if it does exist, notability is far from being demonstrated. Muhandes (talk) 16:51, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

While i do not know who posted the "irrelevant" sources, i do know that like many Religious institutions (particularly, non-anglophone institutions) it most likely has a particular community in which it is well-known and does not engage in self-promoting or spectacle simply to gather publicity. I do not consider it conclusive that this article lacks an internet paper trail and see no reason to delete it on that basis. Furthermore it seems like a perfectly legitimate instition and you have not given reason to believe otherwise.

 * Comment I am unable to view the sources. They are in Hebrew and google translate doesn't appear to translate Hebrew text.  If there are no sources to establish notability (assuming that these do indeed not mention the yeshiva), and no other supporting sources are available to support the WP:GNG then the article should be deleted.

 * Delete. This is indeed clearly a hoax. Bais Shebbes is supposedly the Ashkenazi pronunciation of Hebrew, meaning "House of the Sabbath". While the separate words occur in the given sources – so they mention houses and the Sabbath – the combination does not occur. The first source is supposed to reference the current rabbinate of one Abi Jakubovic, but again, his name does not occur at all in the source; it is instead devoted to the first-century rabbi Simeon bar Yochai . --Lambiam 20:11, 22 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I know for a fact that this page is a hoax. It's primary purpose is to mock the supposed Rosh Yeshiva, Abi Jakubovic. I personally know Abi Jakubovic, and he is not the Rosh Yeshiva of any institution. This page is completely illegitimate and it is unfair for it to remain as it is a fictional mockery of Abi Jakubovic. --Soncino  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.117.101.175 (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete It is impossible for this article to be true. According to beenstyle2000 Abi Jakubovic was born in 2011, as is indicated by his adding Abi Jakubovic to the category 2011 births. On the other hand beenstyle2000 also has stated that Abi Jakubovic is the author of A Treatise on the True Testament which was supposedly released in 1999. There is no proof that this book even exists. Beenstyle2000 is clearly playing a hoax on Abi Jakubovic. I suggest deleting this article and perhaps even suspending his account. --Soncino  —Preceding undated comment added 21:22, 22 December 2011 (UTC).


 * Delete per the seemingly compelling arguments of Simeon bar Yochai and Soncino above. Carrite (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Arguments of Simeon bar Yochai? A voice from beyond the grave. In any case, the article has already been speedy-deleted, so this can be closed. --Lambiam 08:11, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
