 * Delete Subject isn't notable. A single Chabad.org citation does not notability make (and I might add there are instances of close-paraphrasing from that source in this article). We already have an article on Joseph Nasi which is where this sort of content could be developed. This article is near incoherent and worthy of WP:TNT.

 * Delete but a redirect to either Joseph Nasi, or Gracia Mendes Nasi might be OK as well. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:15, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 *  Comment Delete - Isn't this the same as the Benveniste family? I suppose merge or redirect is possible, although delete seems fine. Perhaps Beneveniste should be added to Mendes (disambiguation) (usual spelling seems to be Mendes) and to Mendez (disambiguation). Smmurphy(Talk) 15:16, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete without redirect. Indeed, were this article to remain, it needs to be moved to a namespace specific to this family grouping to avoid massive confusion.  Most people named Mendez have nothing whatsoever to do with this Sephardic Jewish group and there is no reason to think people who search for 'Mendez family' would be interest in this particular Mendes clan.  Even were there some material of value to merge with Benveniste, the only acceptable redirect for the existing namespace would be to Mendez (the surname disambig page).

 * REdirect, probably to Joseph Nasi, adding notes to the two dab pages mentioned by Smurphy. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:38, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
