Zuckermann ghil'ad
Non-notable college professor, and the article should be at Ghil'ad Zuckermann, anyway. RickK 23:30, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * I do find two books of his on Amzaon. What's the criteron for "notable"? - Kbh3rd 23:46, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Move, cleanup, keep. Pjacobi 23:55, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I'm sure he is notable, given where he is, but the presentation here is deathly poor. Send to clean up with a note that it should come back here if the only earth shaking thing about him is that he thinks that Modern Hebrew is a hybrid.  Geogre 01:19, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Change to delete: What the heck is with the people who can't find the shift key?  This isn't his name. Geogre 15:38, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jayjg 02:29, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: random academic. I'm sympathetic, but he doesn't have, say, an endowed chair, presidency of some school, or even tenure. Article appears to be a book advert. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:28, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I recommend to delete it, however his ideas need to be added to the Hebrew language page with a link to his homepage http://www.zuckermann.org. Mr. Zuckermann is not unique in claiming that modern Hebrew, which he calls "Israeli", is not a revival of ancient, Biblical Hebrew, rather a mixture of primarily Yiddish and Mishnaic Hebrew with largely Sfardi pronunciation. Where he differs from other scholars is the amount of Yiddish in modern Israeli: some say modern Israeli has Hebrew words on a Yiddish grammar, Zuckermann claims that its roots are about 50/50 and others differ. Zuckermann discusses these other ideas as well on his homepage. Melamed
