Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam
No references, speculative, and reads like an ad. Not notable for Wikipedia.  Páll  (Die pienk olifant) 08:03, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per PZFUN. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 08:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Delete - he's a rabbi who survived the Holocaust, which probably isn't notable enough. It's a nice (if extremely one-sided) story, but a google search minus wikipedia only turns up 28 hits. At the moment, more than half the article is about WW2; I'd probably be happy to keep the article if it was rebalanced to include his whole life. You have to go to his dynasty article to find out that 'he had more than 200,000 people at his funeral'.--Nydas 09:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep no convincing reason why this should be removed. 200,000 is a lot for a funeral. Arbusto 10:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - the problem is that there's no evidence for this rather significant claim.--Nydas 10:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep - He wrote over 10 works himself and has a book about him! Read it! Elsewhere the complaint (in PZFUN's rampage of AFDs on Jewish-related articles) is lack of references, here they are but are just not trusted. PZFUN's claim of "no references" is simply untrue. jnothman talk 11:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly notable enough.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 12:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
