Wikipedia needs to remove Smadar Lavie's resume from the entry. It is full of unverifiable claims.

Smadar Lavie
A rant by somebody having immigration problems - DavidWBrooks 13:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - even without the rant section she does not meet the WP:BIO criteria Peripitus 14:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC).
 * Keep - can't believe I spelled her name wrong in google/amazon searches. Clearly notable Peripitus 21:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. A POV and unbalanced article, but I have no doubt that Professor Lavie (formerly of UCLA) meets WP:BIO. Over 18,000 G-hits for "Smadar Lavie"; over 700 references on Google Books; 3 books currently in print available through Amazon Books; and 161 citations for "smadar lavie" in the JSTOR academic journal database.

 * With the rant having been removed, keep - if I may change my own nomination. - DavidWBrooks 15:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, but remove the rant You must bear in mind that Professor Smadar Lavie has been under a constant attack for her lack of pro-Zionism. It might be a good idea to contact her, and ask her to provide proof of the challanged claims. Her CV appears to be quite objective. I followed the discussion about her in Hebrew as well (she published several interesting and well-written articles in the Israeli press too). As a Hague Convention child myself (Personal Status file 2637/1991, Tel Aviv District Court, before Justice Porat), I have a lot of interest in her experiences with the Israeli legal system in general, and with its family law branch in particular. I did read the publicly available court documents in Hebrew, which were posted on the website of the Isreali Bar Association and/or other Israel websites a few years ago. It is sad, but the truth is that each and every of Lavie's claims can be verified. Glukacs
