As far as I can tell, he has not received the necessary attention required by WP:BIO for an article. He wrote memoirs, which got published but seem to have received no attention otherwise. Fram (talk) 15:23, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not meet GNG. The only source I can find that mentions him is publicity material for the Azrieli Series of Holocaust Survivor Memoirs. Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - the book Getting Out Alive - might pass WP:NBOOK. The bio itself probably does not pass GNG/NAUTHOR - might be merit for a repurpose to the book (which seems to have been translated to French as well) if we have reviews supporting this. Icewhiz (talk) 11:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I did a bit more searching. I don't think the book passed NBOOK - I found one review in RS - a 3 book review - here. However, the series of Holocaust Survivor Memoirs may be notable - Azrieli Holocaust Survivor Memoirs - borderline. Icewhiz (talk) 14:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * DElete -- surviving murder during the holocaust may be unusual, but that does not make the subject notable. (I am not fond of having to say that).  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:58, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject is just not notable and the book is also unlikely to pass NBOOK. Perhaps there is another WP article/list where some of this content could be kept or noted.  However, it does not merit a standalone WP article. Britishfinance (talk) 20:06, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Writers are not automatically deemed notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because the existence of their books technically verifies on Google Books or Amazon.com: the notability test for a writer requires things like winning or getting nominated for major literary awards, and/or receiving enough reliable source coverage about him (biographical journalism, book reviews, etc.) to get him over WP:GNG. There's simply nothing here that's even trying to demonstrate what's required, and nothing that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to show any real sources either.
