Need your consensus on the subject. I'm not certain WP:RS is met, it may simply be too soon? Rinat Shakenov (talk) 04:01, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep: I have added additional valid references to this page. Please note WP:AFD says "If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination." A quick google search shows more than a dozen reliable, published sources not yet in the article. I added a few of them as new references in line with WP:RS. For example:


 * https://www.today.com/video/the-dancing-scientist-gets-nerdy-with-klg-and-hoda-1331913795990
 * https://www.caltech.edu/campus-life-events/master-calendar/jeffrey-vinokur-the-dancing-scientist-emso-you-think-you-can-do-scienceem-2
 * https://www.todayonline.com/daily-focus/science/be-rock-star-singapore-science-fest
 * https://kidscreen.com/2018/10/29/generation-genius-mixes-up-lab-fun/

 * https://news.cals.wisc.edu/2015/07/20/street-dance-scientist-cals-alumnus-jeff-vinokur-brings-science-to-the-masses/

Should be kept in light of the new valid references added, taken into consideration with the previous valid ones, of which there were previously more than 10. CosmicNotes (talk) 13:51, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep per although the todayonline.com link doesn't mention him(?)  ~EdGl   talk  17:00, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment On the todayonline.com article, the second image is captioned "Mr Jeffrey Vinokur, also known as The Dancing Scientist, performing for the So You Think You Can Do Science programme." and the article talks about the show. CosmicNotes (talk) 01:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't bother to page through the slideshow... ha, nobody has time for that! ~EdGl talk 02:06, 30 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Subject blindly is notable, there are multiple reliable sources that covers him in-depth to easily pass GNG. He is also frequently seen on Television shows. There are also other sources that are not on the page. Niligirinorbert (talk) 09:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment i do not agree that the subject is blindly notable. Probably, above two !votes are from (SPA)- CosmicNotes, Niligirinorbert. The today.com's 5 min science experiments video piece featuring him as a cool science teacher or a chemist. Other College publications 1, 2 and sources does not seems reliable. Todayonline.com piece is not a significant coverage, since Vinokur is not the main subject of the news article as per WP:GNG. Also, we can't be sure who's that person (Jeffrey M. Vinokur) is mentioned here (Ref-35), might not be the same person. It should be appreciated the CosmicNotes's effort to introduce several important sources, a college-run publication does not have the same editorial oversight as the NY Times. A college dossier 3 publishing an article about one of its students does not guarantee notability. Also, this is a self published advertisement (Ref-11). It would be easier to reach a consensus, if we could introduce few more significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. Rinat Shakenov (talk) 14:45, 30 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep The scope and breadth of sources already in the article and those identified above meet the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 17:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Vinokur is a well-known television personality, often seen doing science experiments on TV. It should be kept. He has decent followers in social media pages. Why would you nominate this page for deletion in the first place? 71.63.252.229 (talk) 04:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
