Yehuda Leib Krinsky

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Possibly non-notable subject with my searches finding nothing particularly good with the best being this (Masters of the Word says it was one of the most popular supercommentaries) and there are some other relevant results with other questionable ones here and here. Aside from that, there wasn't anything to suggest good improvement or a better understanding of the article. It's worth noting this began as this and after improvement as this with no further good improvement since then (very likely any in the future). SwisterTwister  talk  05:55, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment Since when do we post articles here because they possibly are non-notable? Debresser (talk) 15:44, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not the only one to say that and I may believe it as non-notable but others may not so that's why it's nominated for input. SwisterTwister   talk  17:06, 16 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep major 19th century scholar and author of a large, 3-volumn commentary that continues ot be read, cited, used by scholars and students of Jewish law. At the one cited by nom: this (Masters of the Word says it was one of the most popular supercommentaries)  clearly demonstrates.   User:SwisterTwister might want to simply withdraw this nomination.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:08, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * However, it seems that's the only good source. SwisterTwister   talk  17:06, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I would only withdraw if more good sources were unearthered because the article can still be considered unacceptable and unsourced at this time. SwisterTwister   talk  21:54, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * additional English sources turn up under Judah (Yehuda). What can be sourced are descriptions of the existence and significance of Krinsky's book, and citations to Krinsky's (5 vol.)  book/commentary by other scholars.  I don't find sources for the biographical details, although I have no reason to the biographical section of being inaccurate.  I added some reliable ones.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:17, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
