Non-notable individual lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. Article "references" are single line entries or very, very brief mentions. red dogsix (talk) 15:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - There are four reasons for notability: 1. He is notable as a member of one of Australia's richest families, and manages the family funds, 2. The articles in connection to the Canberra community may have mentioned him only briefly, but in connection to every element of the community, painting a picture of someone who has backed the entire community centre and is highly involved, 3. He started his own school and installed himself as principal, which is well documented and in the mainstream press, 4. He seems to have his finger in the pie of many communal organisations, funding many elements of the Jewish community in Melbourne. I found many such sources but did not include them all for brevity, but will find them and include them. (Smellytap (talk) 19:59, 31 January 2018 (UTC))
 * Comment - Unfortunately these are not reasons to include an individual in Wikipedia. Please demonstrat how you think these items meet the criteria in WP:N or WP:BIO. The article lacks in-depth, non-trivial support.  To be specific: item 1-Being a member of a rich family is not a reason for inclusion, even if the family is notable, notability is not inherited.  Neither is managing someone's funds.  Item 2-Backing a community is not a criteria listed in WP:N or WP:BIO. Item 3-Starting his own school and installing himself as principal s not a criteria in listed in WP:N or WP:BIO.  Item 4-See the above items.  red dogsix (talk) 20:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm seeing very substantial coverage of this man and his activities in the articles cited in this entry. The father has been dead for more than a decade. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - What I see are a number of single line entries and extremely brief mentions. The article lacks in-depth, non-trivial support. red dogsix (talk) 00:34, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Baloney. This article as just one example, is entirely about his role with his wife of establishing a school. It notes their very large net worth and includes a photo of the couple. It isn't about anyone else's work. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:44, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Far from it. The only item close to "in-depth" is the first paragraph.  The rest of the article talks about the dispute, the complaints against the school, and the school.  red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 00:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The school that HE started and was running out of HIS house. Who are yoi trying to fool? FloridaArmy (talk) 02:28, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Fool? I suggest you assume good faith and quit looking for hidden meaning. At least if you wish to continue, leave the message on my talk page rather than clutter up the AfD.  My best to you.   red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 03:07, 1 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment - "significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other" The school section that is his own pet project alone contains sources from a number of Chabad news sites, Fairfax (both dailies and Fin Review) and Murdoch in Australia. "significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other" The various articles discussing the Canberra community show him as a principal funder of all the various elements of the community, and the various sources that have him as a patron show him to be a significant philanthropist in the community (Smellytap (talk) 07:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC))
 * Comment - Unfortunately single line entries or very, very brief mentions do not constitute significant coverage. red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 09:58, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - It is building a clear picture of the person and his philanthropy which is undeniable. His relationship with the school is also notable in its own rights, also undeniable. The question therefore is what skin do you have in this game that you are so desperate to have this page shut down, because it seems an open and shut case to leave it open.(Smellytap (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2018 (UTC))
 * Comment - Sorry for the attack, but it is frustrating where I have demonstrated that he is the principal funder of an entire community, and has started a school and installed himself as principle. It is hard for me to fathom how this is not notable. And you have yet to demonstrate how this is not notable, since it has been reported in mainstream and international Jewish press. There are numerous articles I have seen on Wikipedia based on fewer and lower quality sources. (Smellytap (talk) 02:31, 5 February 2018 (UTC))

 * Delete -- a BLP that lacks sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Being a principal at a school is not the level of advancement that allows presumed notability; non notable as a businessperson either. I was unable to find WP:SIGCOV under WP:ANYBIO. What comes up is minor controversies relating to the school and routine mentions of legal actions against the school -- that's insufficient material for a bio article. It's a "delete" for me.

 * Delete - a quick glance at the sources reveals little indepth coverage of him personally. With the controversies, there's actually more to justify an article on the school than on him, but still not quite enough.  I googled him to see if there's any sourcing that is missing, and couldn't find any. This is a textbook case of notability not being inherited. Fails WP:GNG. <b style="color:#7F007F">TimTempleton</b> <sup style="color:#800080">(talk)  <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  20:18, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
