Not notable

This article was written by a user whose sole mission in Wikipedia was to write panegyrics about the clients of the PR firm 5W Public Relations. That user User:babasalichai, and his numerous sock puppets, have since been blocked, though he keeps popping up with new users and anonymous IPs periodically.

To the heart of the matter: This Hirschfeld fellow is pretty rich, and there was once an article about his divorce suit in a real estate trade magazine, mostly because of its big-bucks alimony demand. He was also quoted once in the New York Times, and once again in the New York Post. That just about covers his notability. According to the article, he was also the oldest-ever competitor in the Israman Ironman Distance Triathlon competition in Israel. I guess that counts for something. --Ravpapa (talk) 10:35, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment Why is this "3rd nomination"? I can't see a 2nd nom?  Chzz  ► 12:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I've moved this discussion to 2nd, since I could not find it and there is no mention of second nomination on the article talk page. Someone needs to delete 3d as article, left behind as redirect, to make Prefixindex sane. AgadaUrbanit (talk) 13:25, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not notable. Most of the sources contain only passing or trivial mentions of Hirschfeld. Full disclosure: I was notified about this discussion on my talk page by Ravpapa. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 12:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:12, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not meet notability standards--יום יפה (talk) 11:32, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting comment: When the AfD was moved, the entry in the log was not updated; consequently, the AfD failed to be listed properly. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:13, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is not the strongest case of notability ever presented, but I'm persuaded by MelanieN's reasoning in the previous AfD.--Arxiloxos (talk) 03:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't like it, but it meets the guidelines. The New York Times, the New York Post, and Bloomberg are pretty good sources. Ng.j (talk) 23:48, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep I thought this name sounded familiar. You're right, I found a lot of Reliable Source coverage last time and added it to the article. We don't have to like the guy, but his notability seems established. The previous AfD was closed as Keep, and I can't see that anything has changed since then. --MelanieN (talk) 03:17, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
