 * – ( View AfD View log )

Completely non-notable individual - he barely even gets trivial coverage in independent reliable sources, let alone significant coverage. Fails WP:BIO and WP:ACADEMIC. I'd normally suggest a redirect to NARTH, but that would prevent us from making the actually notable Benjamin Kaufman (the Medal of Honor guy) the primary topic. (And here's a pre-emptive wish of good luck to anyone who intends to slog through all the GNews and GBooks hits for "Benjamin Kaufman" and "Ben Kaufman," as I did.) –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 22:27, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete because he's not really notable by Wikipedia's standards. Once the current article is deleted, redirect the truly notable and historic Benjamin Kaufman (Medal of Honor) to this title.  Add a hat note to the top of that article linking to NARTH for those looking for information about the present Benjamin Kaufman.  Thanks to Roscelese for slogging through the Google hits.

 * Delete not well-known. Google searches yield results which talk primarily about the insitution which the Kaufman set up. No article is entirely devoted to the person in question. Fails WP:BASIC Sp33dyphil  "Ad astra" 12:02, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
