 * Keep My WP:BEFORE search here turned up 1,300 sources, including "The ‘Shidduch Crisis’ Has Led to an Orthodox Obsession with Female Beauty" from The Forward, "For now, I’m content to be a single mom. And that confuses people." in The Washington Post, "Ultra-Orthodox Jews Are Panicking Over Their Matchmaking Crisis" in The New Republic and more than a thousand other sources in other publications. It may be real it may be imagined, but it's a never-ending meme in Orthodox Jewish media. I'm curious as to how none of these sources turned up in the nominator's WP:BEFORE search.

 * Keep. Yated, Mishpacha, YU Torah are not blogs; they're just not formatted correctly. This is an acute crisis in the Haredi and Hasidic Jewish communities that has been going on for a number of years already. There are more sources to draw on. Yoninah (talk) 21:50, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Topic has attracted quite a lot of media coverage, especially within the Orthodox Jewish press. JoelDick (talk) 22:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
