 * Keep and improve: significant coverage online in WP:RS. Uncle Roy (talk) 05:54, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - Any cursory WP:BEFORE (which you are supposed to do before AFD!) would show an abundance of sources. This is the owner (and former long-time manager) of Israel's second largest food company (and at the time - the only private company - Tnuva was owned by the Kibbutzim back then). Strauss is included today in TA-35 - Israel's leading stock index, and was a very significant company when Michael Strauss was chairman and CEO. Plenty of WP:RS available.Icewhiz (talk) 06:02, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment could you link some sources? It's just that I couldn't find anything more than passing mentions, apart from Forbes. No doubt there is plenty of Hebrew material, which I will have missed because I don't speak the language and cannot analyse the sources' reliability.  Quasar G   t - c 15:12, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I added some English language sources (google books actually led to some English results - when intersecting with Dairy. Michael Strauss by itself is a bad keyword) + some Hebrew. It should be well sourced enough to pass Afd. This is a major figure - not someone obscure.
 * thanks for your improvements, the Hebrew sources were key here. I'll let the AfD run its course, but he seems to pass the GNG now.  Quasar G  t - c 19:26, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm joining into looking at Selten99's Strauss group and Ofra Strauss PROMO which created this article too. While both Ofra and Michael are significant and should pass GNG, Michael is the really significant figure achievement wise... He turned a medium sized company into a giant. Ofra, on the other hand, was groomed for the role which was handed over to her on her father's retirement and in a business sense has not really achieved much.Icewhiz (talk) 19:34, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep this well sourced, apparently notable, cogent article. --Lockley (talk) 09:22, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Subject is notable, article is well-sourced.--Geewhiz (talk) 11:03, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
