Koren Publishers Jerusalem

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Prod contested a while ago. While looking for reliable sources to establish this publishing house's notability, I found nothing of substance, but I also came across this site, which states that the main contributor to this article is also the publishing house's marketing director.

 * Delete Looks like a carefully built walled garden for self-promotion. Delete. ThuranX (talk) 00:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Given the people who used the type& what they used it for--see the end of that article-- he may have been a notable typographer. A typeface can be notable. DGG (talk) 06:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep well known Israeli publisher, type, etc... --Shuki (talk) 00:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep and renamed to Koren Publishers. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 04:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly notable; very well know publisher. Jon513 (talk) 10:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Change to Keep and cleanup. The concerns I expressed have been addressed. The one thing that is stopping me from withdrawing is the remaining Delete !vote. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 13:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep this legitimate article about a legitimate and well-known Judaic publisher of important Bibles especially. The valid categories of Category:Bible versions and translations and Category:Jewish printing and publishing have now been added. The Koren Type is legitimate because they did introduce a very new type of Hebrew typeface that had not been used until then. Eliyahu Koren is thus notable too. Any and all self-promotion can be edited out and Wikified, but they are all objectively WP:N and there are WP:RS for all of them. Note also, this is a new entry, and it's a pretty good one, and the nominator is advised to follow Don't demolish the house while it's still being built. In addition, a simple queery at WP:TALKJUDAISM asking for some input with experienced Judaic editors there would have helped clarify this matter and not brought it to this vote. Thanks.
