Does not appear to satisfy WP:PEOPLE Jayjg (talk) 03:11, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - Article does not assert notability, sources cited don't appear to support it. Leoniceno (talk) 04:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Although I can't find significant coverage in reliable independent sources, I can find sources showing (a) that his sources are well regarded and that (b) any number of companies he's done kosher certification for seem very proud to have obtained his services.  His books also appear to be widely cited (see [www.jstor.org/stable/797389 here] for an example).  That could get him in under WP:ACADEMIC.  He appears to be the definitive go-to guy on whether gelatin is kosher (answer: sometimes!) I got momentarily excited by hits for "Sheinkopf kosher" but unfortunately they pertain to the apparently unrelated Hank Sheinkopf. - 04:22, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - As it is written I do not think the article demonstrates notability and didn't see much in the way of supporting details on the sources (though it was an admittedly quick look). If a few more sources were added and a few sentences stating why he is notable can be found/added then I would say keep.  mauler90 (talk) 06:34, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Appears not to meet the WP:AUTHOR notability standard. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 21:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to fail WP:BIO. Searching for sources was complicated (the name w/o the middle initial appears to be rather common), so I have to judge the article as it is. Ray  Talk 21:24, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
