i think it should be deleted because its a biography (which isn't even in wikipedia format), and also i don't see the importance of the biography

 * Delete Being a biography is not a reason for deletion (we have many of them) nor is not being properly formatted (that is a reason for editing to improve the format). However, lack of importance is a better reason. There is nothing at all in the article to suggest notability: everything it says is consistent with a perfectly ordinary minor academic with no special distinction, and nowhere near satisfying WP:ACADEMIC. The article also gives no sources so I have searched for them. This takes some care, as there are many other Moshe Bernsteins, but I managed to find no independent coverage of this one. It looks rather like a CV (resume). JamesBWatson (talk) 14:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - he does not show notability under WP:GNG or WP:PROF - and as per James Watson there seems to be no sources refering to this Burnstein. Addionne (talk) 19:09, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep A full professor of Bible at one the most important religious-based universities is almost certainly notable.  I am much more willing to accept their standards than my own guesses. The appointment means that he is an authority in his subject, thus meeting WP:PROF. As an editor of many of the major Qumran texts, he is notable--an important  part of the major achievement in humanities in the last century.    DGG ( talk ) 06:50, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:PROF. The argument that The appointment means that he is an authority in his subject, thus meeting WP:PROF. is an example of the fallacy of transferred notability.  That argument would make notable all professors at notable schools. There needs to be independent findings of notability. --Bejnar (talk) 18:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
