Abraham Zelmanowitz

An orthodox programmer. He died in 9/11, allegedly because he stayed behind to comfort a friend rather than escape, which is speculated to be heroic. His motivations, however, are not verifiable, and the fact that he died does not make him de facto notable. R adiant _>|< 08:32, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Fairly famous, and his motivations are, in fact, known. He called his sister-in-law and told her he was staying behind with his wheelchair bound friend because his friend couldn't get out. Here's just one of many stories on him: [1] Jayjg ^(talk) 21:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. He was notable enough to be commended publicly by a world leader. We keep articles on every mundane athlete, surely we can keep a well-publicized and known hero of a world famous tragedy. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 21:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
