 * Speedy Keep Suggest procedural close as no rationale has been advanced. The article does not fails WP:ACADEMIC because the subject is holder of a named chair. The nominator needs to explain how he got to the conclusion that the article "Fails WP:ACADEMIC" within 5 minutes of article creation. SL7968 05:14, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

I've added some new links and some of the awards Prof. Fine received over the years. I think they show the notability of Ruth Fine in the field of Latinamerican literature research, and in Cervantes' work in particular. She has a worldwide reputation. Yinonk (talk) 13:03, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep on procedural grounds (no rationale); the nomination cannot even be considered to be a shorthand for a developed rationale since holder of a named chair is specifically mentioned as a reason for keeping per WP:ACADEMIC. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 17:34, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Hebrew University of Jerusalem is an institution of a level that holding a named chair there is ground for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF. The presidency of the Israeli Association of Hispanists also makes criterion #C6 plausible but it may not be a major academic society as considered by that criterion. Google scholar doesn't find much but I wouldn't have expected it to for this area. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:11, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
