Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reuben Joshua Poupko


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was NO CONSENSUS. The final comment listing many possible sources do seem to backup Shuki's claim of potential. I'm not comfortable deleting on the back of such a debat, therefore. I would suggest re-visiting this in the not-too-distant future and, if nothing has been or can be done, then it should be removed. -Splash - tk 19:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

This is a WP:NN congregational rabbi who, while he may have done sterling service all his life, does not appear to have done anything that could be called "notable" to merit a WP:BIO -- speaking up for "Zionism and Israel" and harping on Elvis Presley, notwithstanding.

 * Keep Actually, a very prominent and central rabbinical figure in Montreal. --Shuki 16:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Do you have any sources showing this? Best, --Shirahadasha 21:58, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. It's my 'OR' and simple googling didn't help either, though I'm pretty sure that enough is out there for a legit modest NPOV article for this rabbi if someone really wanted to make the effort. I'll leave the 'keep' up just for the principle, you see I can't defend it too much in any case (I refuse to use 'weak keep' whatever that might be to some people). The current article is a delete. --Shuki 00:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, he seems to be quite a prominent political voice in the Montreal community. See these links for example:  -- M P er el  23:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
