Yadin Kaufmann

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article by a WP:SPA. I moved it to draft, it was moved back without any significant changes. Basically an extended advert, with most sources being blatant PR or churnalism. Guy (Help!) 16:14, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment: As the editor who accepted this AfC, I saw no problem with the prose in the article. I saw nothing that screamed self-promotion in ways that I have seen in other articles of the same ilk. The sources provided, including Foreign Policy magazine, the New York Times and Forbes (as well as several Israeli news outlets) would be considered WP:RS for wiki standards. I do recognize the number of Press releases as a slight concern, and I would be additionally concerned if a Single-purpose account was trying to promote Mr. Kaufmann. That being said, I judged it as being neutrally written in its current form. Bkissin (talk) 17:12, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: Subject seems to be notable, with many citations to coverage in reliable sources. However, this article has significant WP:NPOV problems, particularly the extended quote from the subject regarding his opinions on the Palestinian situation and his proposed solutions. Regarding Bkissin's comment above, it appears that this article may very well be written by a single-purpose account, Jejo2233. I would not be opposed to a delete under WP:TNT.

 * Keep. Clearly notable in a cursory BEFORE and in sources present in article. NPOV is not an issue, PROMO of the subject is perhaps a tad too much - but this may reflect RSes used which tend to be positive for "feel good" stories. Deletion is not cleanup, and this is way off from TNT.Icewhiz (talk) 18:41, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have reviewed the comments of JzG, Rosguill, Bkissin and Icewhiz, and thank them all for their comments. As the initial author of this article, I am disappointed that it was filed for removal. I believe that Wikipedia should certainly offer material covering an internationally renowned such as Yadin Kaufmann and that the article I wrote was factual, thoroughly sourced, and contained only directly relevant content. That said, should Wikipedia editors feel that certain passages are not directly relevant (or not adequately sourced), I suggest that those passages be removed - rather than the entire page. Removing the entire page would do a disservice to Wikipedia readers interested in Mr. Kaufmann or his fields of activity. Jejo2233 (talk) 13:14, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. He may actually be notable, though the article will need some revision,  DGG ( talk ) 08:22, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
