Article appears to be an advertisement. No clear notability established in the article or references which are not secondary sources. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Uncertain This is just a list of his work, not an advertisement. Uncertain, because there is no information present about notability.  DGG ( talk ) 19:13, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Uncertain His name pops on Google enough for me to believe that he's at least notable in his field. I can't find a news article, but I could also be using the wrong title. I say keep the page, keep the clean up language, and revisit in a year. RyanGrant (talk) 04:42, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: I haven't even checked the article yet for its writing style; but that is irrelevant, as it is the subject's notability that matters. I am quite certain that Helfgot is very notable in his field; what remains to be seen is how much general notability that confers on him. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 04:53, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * See for example this article from Haaretz (Translation of the first sentence: "Yitzchak Meir Helfgot is one of the greatest chazzanim in the world today.") הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 05:02, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Added an NPR source which speaks favorably about him. II  | (t - c) 08:48, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep The article isn't much more than a stub, but the coverage by NPR, Haaretz, The New York Times and this piece in Tablet are enough to convince me that he meets the Wikipedia notability standard. I don't know that I'd be willing to pay as much as $180 to attend a selichot service, but I'd keep the article. The fact that so many people will show up at midnight and pay up to $180 for tickets to hear him is rather notable in and of itself. Alansohn (talk) 02:57, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Alansohn. Marokwitz (talk) 07:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
