Rambam's Laws

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

No indication of WP:notability Does not appear to be widely known outside the context of HOPE. Remove twitter and only 34 google hits for the first law - including this article and a facebook hit. Just seems to be a soundbite. If you exclude twitter, this is the only hit for Rambam's second law. noq (talk) 19:34, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete out of context, non notable article, and twitter doesn't serve as reference or to sustain notability. Eduemoni↑talk↓  22:02, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine, my bad, sorry for bothering to contribute. Perhaps next time respond with something more positive than just 'this is non-notable' (and the reasons) next time, e.g. 'have you thought about writing a bio of this guy, that you could include these quotations in?'

 * Comment - my concern is that this article has four sources, but they don't seem to be reliable. I tried to find better sources, but it's difficult due to false positives.  Can somebody find some better sources? Bearian (talk) 19:59, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete this article, or userfy it to the author (if they request it) for possible reworking into an article about Steven Rambam. To Mpdehnel, I understand your frustration about the response you are getting to this article. But we have criteria for what can and can't be the basis for a Wikipedia article, and the main criterion is that the subject has received significant coverage from multiple independent sources. I couldn't find such coverage for Rambam's Laws in a search of Google and Google News Archive. However, I did find quite a bit of significant coverage from reliable sources about Steven Rambam himself - for example   - and that coverage could be used to write an article about the person rather than about his "laws". In my opinion an article about the person would satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. (Some sources list his name as Steven Rombom with the indication that Rambam is a nickname.) If you want assistance in writing such an article, just ask at my talk page. --MelanieN (talk) 15:20, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
