fails WP:BIO; "Ronen Altman Kaydar" pulls up next to nothing on google and literally nothing in google news, which is hardly evidence of notability. While ghits aren't conclusive, the fact that they don't show any reliable, third-party sources giving Kaydar coverage is. Ironholds (talk) 17:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * check searches for the name in Hebrew, רונן אלטמן קידר. There are quite a few journalistic reviews of his published works (including this in haaretz. Also, his book is held by the library of congress (published under his name before marriage, as stated in the article). here is his entry in the lexicon of Hebrew Literature (in Hebrew, but the picture and the name in English appear). His work was also put to music and filmed. and this is the news-search for him in Hebrew.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * No opinion, but I'd suggest that this not be decided until at least Oct. 2. This time of year isn't the best for getting knowledgeable opinions regarding matters relating to Israel or Judaism, simply because many Jewish users don't post during the High Holy Days. --NellieBly (talk) 08:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep The reviews seem sufficient to show notability as an author.    DGG ( talk ) 02:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - If his notability only began during the last few weeks, and an outpouring of notable publications will begin on October 2nd, that's not very hopeful in terms of notability. Delete because there's no indication of notability. Shadowjams (talk) 08:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The links in the article were *added* in the last few weeks, but are much older than that. The request to wait till Oct. 2nd has nothing to do with an expected 'outpouring' of publications but (in my understanding) to enable more Hebrew-speaking editors to read the provided links and make a rational decision. 88.134.61.253 (talk) 11:34, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment: I have relisted this debate to allow editors who know Hebrew to take a look at the depth of coverage in the Google News Archive search (with the search term "רונן אלטמן קידר") provided by . Cunard (talk) 07:55, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - Seems quite notable, having been reviewed and published in nation-wide newspapers. -- Cycl o pia -  talk  18:22, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * keep Haaretz is roughly the Israeli equivalent of the New York Times and Yedioth Ahronoth is one of the most popular national newspapers. So sources there are enough to demonstrate notability. JoshuaZ (talk) 03:18, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep He gets mentioned in the Haaretz, then as JoshuaZ says, he must be notable.  D r e a m Focus  04:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
