 * Delete: as non-notable in any particular field or categorization. Strongly suspect COI. Quis separabit?  03:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The editor's suspected COI, which I also suspect, is not a reason to delete the article. Especially in a case where the article is written neutrally, without peacock terms or fluff, like in this case. Debresser (talk) 11:32, 20 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak keep There is some coverage in independent, reliable sources. She has published some books. Neither are too notable, but IMHO do establish a minimum of notability. Debresser (talk) 11:30, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I see no reason for considering deletion, let alone doing it. I fail to see where the COI would be. Her notability as a rebetzin and as a scholar is quite clear, as is her importance within Orthodox Jewry. Just to quell any suspicions, I am not a Jew myself, but a firm believer in freedom of worship, which relies on knowledge of each other's belief systems.Bmcln1 (talk) 14:23, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. She is best known for the biography of her father, and there is very little notable about her personally. Merge any relevant content into the YY Herman article. JFW &#124; T@lk  21:16, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have added more sources showing her influence on other writers, as well as verification of her first book being an all-time bestseller for Feldheim Publishers. Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Bmcln1 and Yoninah above. -- -- -- 04:36, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not extremely notable, but notable enough.  I don't think that deleting it would improve the encyclopedia. Zerotalk 03:57, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
