Unable to verify any of this unreferenced BLP online, maybe others have access to offline sources that can prove that he even exists, let alone passes the WP:Notability requirements The-Pope (talk) 15:43, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I did find a couple of websites in Israel that sell works by "Ligtenberg" (the latter one appears to be a "Messianic" organization) but like the nominator, I also had no success finding any verification of any of the content of this article, much less in reliable sources: what little there is appears to be Wikipedia mirrors. As an unreferenced and unverified BLP, I guess this has to be a delete.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:31, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep There is at least one article in the Jerusalem Post about him . This may be the only one online, but there is a good chance there are offline sources about him too. This article appears to have a lot of contributors, which shows that a lot is known about him other than from knowing him personally. Linda Olive (talk) 22:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * "This article appears to have a lot of contributors, which shows that a lot is known about him other than from knowing him personally." is not a criterion for notability. LibStar (talk) 10:31, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The quoted ref also does not mention anything about his art, which is the only thing mentioned in the article. If it wasn't such an unusual name, you'd almost think it was another person. I'd question if it was actualy significant coverage too.  I also hope that if the article is kept, some of these "good chance offline sources" are immediately found and added to the article.  It is a WP:BLP that we are talking about. The-Pope (talk) 14:20, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
