Strashelye (Hasidic dynasty)
Not notable 43 google hits for Strashelye most of them from wikipedia. PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€  04:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The article discusses an important figure in the development of the Chassidic world. All of the material is documented and footnoted. There is no reason to delete this article. --Meshulam 06:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€  04:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * CleanupKitnic gets hardly any hits but its one of the most commonly used words during (and before) Passover. I don't think there is a problem of notablity. ems (not to be confused with the nonexistant pre-dating account by the same name) 05:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is no problem with covering Hasidic dynasties in Wikipedia, see List of Hasidic dynasties, but this article is lacking in key information -- such as where the town they originated is located, when the dynasty was founded, and when it ceased (the article says that the dynasty did not last into the second generation, yet the first paragraph implies that the adherents still continue today). If this is a defunct group, that would explain why it has a minimal Google presence, but we need more clarification. --Metropolitan90 07:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I did what I can to clean up some of the things that you mentioned. I'll look for some more definite years (when R' Aharon lived, etc.).--Meshulam 12:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Seems to make its own case for notability. Google is likely less than thorough in its coverage of 19th century groups of Chasidic Jews.  Does not seem to be a hoax.  Smerdis of Tlön 13:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I am withdrawing my nomination. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€  13:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Does that mean we can take down the delete business at the top of the page?--Meshulam 15:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
