Eli Tene

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article shows no notability. Interviews listed are not about Tene. Lacks non trivial coverage in reliable sources. Duffbeerforme (talk) 10:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:NOTABILITY and also fails WP:BIO. Kalivd (talk) 13:35, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:NOTABILITY and WP:BIO requirements. It is in the best interests of the Wikipedia foundation, administrators and most of all, the greater public to KEEP this biographical article for Eli Tene intact. As an Israeli-American philanthropist and businessman with numerous life long accomplishments including the foundation of three prominent non profit institutions, this story deserves preservation in the Wikipedia encyclopedia. [Personal attack removed] Wiki administrators are invited to perform a Google search for further information on Eli Tene and add to the reference portion of this article.

 * What is your accusation of anti-semitic bias based on? Anything? Demarco135 is invited to perform a Google search for further information on Eli Tene and add to the reference portion of this article.Duffbeerforme (talk) 10:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree with Duff: Demarco, that's a very serious charge, and I see no evidence of it. I took a quick look at Duff's contribs, and all seems as it should be. I think you should prove it or take it back. IronDuke  13:03, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The accusation was against Kalivd. I did a quick check of his edits and saw no evidence there. Duffbeerforme (talk) 13:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * My bad. I'll check them, too. IronDuke  13:41, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Cursory check: nothing wrong with Kalivd's editing. Accusation is baseless. IronDuke  13:43, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Cursory check: After my own review, I too agree with IronDuke that nothing is wrong with Kalivd's editing and that the accusation is baseless. -- Suntag  ☼  16:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Google web results show basic PR-related material, and Google news shows similar stuff. Charges of anti-Semitism are not something to be tossed out there and, in my opinion, hurts your chances.  Madman (talk) 12:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm putting down Neutral for now: yes, this is a bit thin so far, but there's so much unsourced crap here, at least, you know, the guy has a mention in the NYTimes.  IronDuke  13:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The article reads like a PR release for his companies. Demarco135 needs to show how it passes our notability and biography requirements, specifically this bit. Doug Weller (talk) 13:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete due to lack of coverage from reliable sources. Stifle (talk) 13:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * DeleteLack of coverage from reliable sources, does not meet our criteria for biographies. I note we have already deleted 2 other articles by this editor, one about Tene's partner, the other about one of their companies -- all 3 articles being about the companies as much as about Tene or his partner. Doug Weller (talk) 13:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * For the two deleted articles, see Asset foreclosure services and Gil Priel AfD. As of this post, the following topics were red linked in the Eli Tene article (followed by any deletions): Accommodator Finance Company, Asset Foreclosure Services, Bnei Brith-Shalom, Bridgelock Capital, Escrow of the West, Gil Priel (AfD), I Short Sale Inc., Israeli Leadership Council (ILC), LA with Love, Panorex Commercial, Panorex Realty, Peak Capital Group, Peak Finance Company, Peak Financial Partners (PFP), Property Tax Masters, and Strategic Asset Solutions.-- Suntag  ☼  16:14, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete The only sourced information about Eli Tene appears to be in the context of his commenting on his company, I Short Sale, to news sources such as American Banker, Arizona Daily Star, Los Angeles Times, and Mortgage Servicing News. I Short Sale might be a viable article, but not Eli Tene (and you'll never get there making personal attacks). -- Suntag  ☼  14:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete -- fails all aspects of BIO and RS, doesn't meet the notability requirements either. The single keep vote being from the article author can't be possibly be taken seriously with the hurling of personal attacks and statements like " It is in the best interests of the Wikipedia foundation, administrators and most of all, the greater public to KEEP this biographical article for Eli Tene intact", which can be summed up mostly with ILIKEIT. -- Logical Premise Ergo? 18:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * How can I argue with so many requests to "delete"? However, I believe if there were less critiquing of this Bio and more positive participation in improving the article it would not be facing deletion. Wikipedia after all is a group collaborating democratically to voice truth and build knowledge. On another note, perhaps I came across to many of you the wrong way. I do assure you that there was no malice in my supposed 'accusation', I simply voiced what I believed at the time to be a valid concern. Nonetheless I thank you all for your time and consideration in reviewing Eli Tene's Bio. Demarco135 (talk) 12:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Even in the references where the subject of the article is mentioned, the article isn't primarily about him. He might be worth a brief mention in some article about foreclosures, the housing bubble, etc.  But he's not a notable player. --John Nagle (talk) 20:00, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - pr nom. --Tom 20:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable, unless by being controversial in relation to the topic of short sales and the company. But the invitation to 'administrators' to use Google shows the shallowness of the work done by the editor. I chose one of the last red-links and used a lil' goofoo to find out that the spelling was incorrect, it is "B'nai B'rith Shalom Unit (Los Angeles)", not "Bnei Brith-Shalom Unit".  Of course, no reference in cite there to this person. (sigh) Shenme (talk) 02:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
