Nachman Kahana

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication he meets WP:BIO. The article has only one reliable secondary source, and that's actually an obituary of his brother, not him. Jayjg (talk) 02:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete a minor rabbi, author of a marginal talmudic work. -- Y not? 02:45, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Most of his coverage is in Hebrew language media, but searches reveal he has received somewhat substantial coverage in English language sources. -- brew  crewer  (yada, yada) 12:35, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The sources in those google searches just mention him in passing. Many are just obits of his brother. I see no indication he meets WP:BASIC. Jayjg (talk) 02:17, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * They all "mention him in passing"? That's a stretch.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 02:36, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * O.K., which sources are specifically about him, then? As opposed to say, sources that quote him on a topic, or sources on organizations he belongs to, etc. Is there, for example, a newspaper or magazine article about Kahana? Jayjg (talk) 02:59, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Never heard of him until now. Most of what I found were a lot of articles by him but not much 3rd-party stuff about him of any significance -- at least not in English. Rooster613 (talk) 18:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I never heard of you before today, yet I don't claim it diminishes your notability in any way.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 00:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per Jayjg. --BozMo talk 09:15, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Relatively well known and greatly respected in Settler circles. Here is another source about him, not his more famous brother. Check out the website if you have not already.--Eliscoming1234 (talk) 01:56, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep just per all the reliable sources cited in the article, plus more in Hebrew as mentioned here, part of a very notable rabbinical family, and the works he wrote. IZAK (talk) 11:09, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
