not apparently notable; no sources to verify content identified Scoop100 (talk) 18:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I found six titles (some apparently differnt editions of the same book) written, edited or translated by him at Worldcat using this search. I also added an interesting quotation about him from a book by John David Garcia: "Henry Lurié was not perfect in his ethics, but he was the most committed man I ever met; he was dedicated totally to ethical principles." I think he might be notable, but I am not certain of it. -- Eastmain (talk) 05:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete, I can't see any basis for notability -- unless as a translator, and I'm unsure about how to assess that. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 08:36, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think we have to go with WP:GNG on this one rather than WP:PROF, I don't think Garcia's encomium can be used as a reliable source for anything factual about him, and there are no other sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:32, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete by default as evidence of notability has not emerged. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete. I think David Eppstein pegs this spot-on. Respectfully, Agricola44 (talk) 16:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC).
