Yoel Drubin

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Claim of importance appears overstated and cannot be verified via English language sources; no article in Hebrew Wikipedia. There is a passing mention of him in a book but no details about him as an "important founder" for Rishon LeZion. Support draftifying for interested editors to work on because notability claims cannot be backed up at present. Kazamzam (talk) 15:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: also some discrepancies with name spelling make the search for sources more difficult. I have seen Yo'el, Joel, Yitzhaq, Drobin, etc. Kazamzam (talk) 15:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment a Google book search for “ יואל דרובין ראשון לציון” shows a number of results that look promising, though it would need a Hebrew reader to say whether they amounted to in depth coverage or not. Also found an English reference here and a passing mention here which suggests there may be more for those who know where to look. Mccapra (talk) 20:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the passing mention of him in a book that I mentioned. I can ping WP Israel and see if anyone wants to take a crack at it but otherwise I think this is a draft candidate since promising potential sources do not equal sources on the article itself.

 * Delete. Regardless of notability, the article overstates the subject's importance versus the biography at the Rishon Museum. Since there is not much information other than importance, the article is best WP:TNTd without prejudice. On the upside, there is a street after him in Rishon and there is no WP:BLP concern. gidonb (talk) 23:59, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. I have added the birth and death year and the first reference since this article was created, just over 15 ago! gidonb (talk) 00:19, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable role in the history of Jewish settlement in Palestine.--Geewhiz (talk) 11:45, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. While I found this article in such terrible shape that WP:TNT was in order after the text and ref improvement by Gila (kudos for your work!) and myself the article should be kept as meeting WP:BASIC. As a historical figure, there is absolutely no WP:BLP concern! gidonb (talk) 13:49, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep with thanks to Geewhiz. Mccapra (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment. Also added a first image to our article. The article sets by now an example of how historical biographies should appear on WP. gidonb (talk) 15:03, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
