Pinchas Winston

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fringe author (as is particularly obvious from an older version) of self-published, unreviewed books. No evidence of passing WP:AUTHOR or any other applicable notability guideline. I would have gone the PROD route, but one was added and removed over a decade ago, making the page technically ineligible (not that it's been improved in the interval).

 * Delete: Per my concerns previously addressed on its talk page, I don't see independent reviews of his books and for various I can't even find items corresponding to the ISBN. This indicates failure to meet WP:BLPN.  I found this more mainstream source: https://atlantajewishtimes.timesofisrael.com/rabbi-winston-shares-message-of-redemption/ but yes, that's what apocalyptic preachers do.  For the original state of the article I would more say it was a religious sermon than only fringe (yet obviously not acceptable as-is in an encyclopedia article).  — Paleo  Neonate  – 20:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
