Does not appear to meet WP:BIO. A search through Google reveals only self-published sources, no WP:RS. Leuko 00:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per nom if no sources can be found. Mr.Z-man  talk ¢ Review! 00:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Article does not appear to be notable, again, maybe if reliable sources can be found... Hello32020 02:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Searches using Google, Yahoo, etc. reveal primarily self-published sources and unverifiable items, agreeing what Leuko stated. Fails reliable sources.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 05:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No reliable sources so failing WP:RS and a failure of WP:BIO. Telly addict  16:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep His books are available from Amazon.That should count for RS. Basing on number of references returned from Google. My vote will be to keep --Mqmpk 19:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep He does have a television show as noted in the article. --Ozgod 20:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: It's really not a television show, its more of a podcast on a blog if you follow the link. Leuko 21:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Seicer. Montco 06:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have added a source from Frontline's webpage, about a documentary on the red heifer, in which Rabbi Richman was apparently prominently featured.—Carolfrog 06:37, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability - and little or no content in the article. NBeale 21:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Although I'll reserve judgment until more sources are produced, Rabbi Richman and his controversial organization have gotten into the news often enough that I suspect notability can be established. Rabbi Richman has been controversial, not only for his efforts to rebuild a Third Temple on the Temple Mount, build ritual objects, find a Red Heifer, and prepare for its opening, but for various controversies along the way such as his efforts to protest the current ban on non-Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount, and raise money from prominent American Evangelical Christian figures who believe a third temple must happen before a Second Coming (See e.g., ). Best, --Shirahadasha 02:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found. --Shirahadasha 07:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Some sources:, , ,  --Shirahadasha 02:04, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Final comment: Have a cow, man! --Shirahadasha 02:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep notability established based on sources found by Shirahadasha from the Jerusalem Post and US News & World Report. -- M P er el ( talk 05:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletions.   --Shirahadasha 03:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete this nut. IZAK 12:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - abuse doesn't help the debate. However cranky his views they get notable coverage. I have added two books he has written that are sold by Amazon.com (one of which is referenced on The Knesset official site) and more mainstream media coverage. BlueValour 23:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
