Non-notable person. I'm unable to find any significant coverage of this person in reliable third-party sources; the Russian-language interview given as a reference appears to be the extent of it. The article claims his organisation has also been covered by programmes on Israeli television, but it doesn't seem like there's enough to pass our notability guidelines. (I'd almost consider this a WP:A7 candidate, but a previous AFD ended in 'no consensus', so clearly some people thought it was worth keeping.) Robofish (talk) 03:30, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I read the AfD debate that took place nearly five years ago and can see how the article was kept back then. However, our policies on biographies of living people are much stricter now. Google search in English fails to show notability. Solid references in other languages are lacking. This fringe activist is not notable by our current standards.

Not sure - The article in the Russian Wikipedia cites a lot of sources, mostly in Russian, and some of them are rather notable. This may mean that he is notable, but strangely enough, i couldn't find any sources about him written in Hebrew. I don't really know what to say. --Amir E.

Keep There's plenty of coverage in WP:RS cited in his Russian language Wikipedia entry, such as [1]. Chester Markel (talk) 21:32, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Poorly sourced, the person doesn't even appear in the Hebrew Wikipedia. Panoramix303 (talk) 18:21, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—seems to be created in tandem with Hyperzionism to promote (or demote?) a certain point on Wikipedia. The topic is non-notable and not covered by reliable secondary sources. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 00:06, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - non-notable, given the nature of the sources in ruwiki, I'm suspecting hoax or viral self-promotion. --ElComandanteChe (talk) 22:02, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
