Kol Menachem

This is a non-notable publishing house. All the sources either give a very brief description or are reviews of editions of books published by the house or are sources which are not independent (being other sources run by Chabad.

 * Keep Of course it's notable; the Gutnick edition of the Chumash has become very popular worldwide. And there are three non-Chabad references cited in the article discussing the publications of this publishing house. Yehoishophot Oliver (talk) 17:10, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete This subject fails WP:ORG so far as I can tell, as I cannot find significant coverage. That guideline also states, "'Notable' is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even organizations that editors personally believe are 'important' are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is." I therefore disagree with YO's argument and fully agree with JoshuaZ's.

 * Keep The references cited in the article show that it has attracted notice. How much more notice do you think it needs to be notable? -- Zsero (talk) 15:35, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Which of those references are to independent reliable sources providing significant coverage of Kol Menachem? Phil Bridger (talk) 22:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable publishing house which only gets a few hits on the first page of Google. What is notable is the Gutnick Chumash, which is listed under Chumash (Judaism). (It should also be listed under Jewish commentaries on the Bible.) Perhaps the Gutnick edition deserves its own article? Yoninah (talk) 12:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
