 * Weak keep. While this does seem to be a single event, his story received a lot of coverage, and made it to books too:,  , and passing mentions in dozen others. I think this is enough to push him over the threshold, given that the coverage in books is enduring, so this is not just someone who was discussed in newspapers, to be forgotten next month. Academics and activists see his story as still relevant, 10 or so years down the road. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  10:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep -- BLP1E doesn't apply at all here. As that guideline says, "The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources."  Leibowitz has been the subject of RS over many years.  Besides the sources already in the article we find 2009, 2013, 2015, 2017.  Also see the books mentioned by User:Piotrus.  Finally, consider this GScholar search to see that discussion of Leibowitz is extensive and ongoing in the scholarly community.  An easy pass of GNG. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:51, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Exceptionally poor nomination. More background is provided in this book and a quick BEFORE search reveals indepth sources and an apparent lasting impact.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 15:25, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: sufficient coverage for stand-alone notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:26, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
