Article has been created by the subject in WP:AUTO violation, and does not appear to meet notability criteria under WP:N. All subsequent attempts to improve article with recent news coverage by other accounts has resulted in immediate reversion and somewhat disingenuous edit summaries to cover this. I acknowledge that most of this news coverage has been negative due to subject's terminally online behaviour and one must have regard for WP:BLP, but if this coverage cannot be included then I do not see what this article is for. I added a recent 2024 news story that received coverage in most British Jewish media outlets, and was reverted within six minutes despite the editor not using Wikipedia for anything other than gatekeeping this bio.

I am not convinced that subject is notable, but defer to consensus - if the article is retained then subject should be banned from editing it so a more comprehensive article can naturally develop. Dev920 23:31, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

this article should be kept. I am not the subject, and I edit a range of articles connected to Brighton and its history and people. For instance I also created the article on Julian Crampton and I can’t be him as well! This article on the rabbi meets the notability rule because it contains multiple sources discussing the rabbi, his work and career. Brightonheritage (talk) 03:30, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - most of the sources are strictly local. Bearian (talk) 04:27, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Full Delete: There just is no notability. Wikipedia is not a resume. The subject is just a Rabbi, not a head Rabbi or leader. There is a possibility that local coverage could be found for many of the millions of clergy members, including priests, preachers (ministers), and rabbis worldwide. This does not equate to global notability in a worldwide encyclopedia. -- Otr500 (talk) 07:27, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive me but is there a requirement that someone have ‘global notability’ or that only the chief rabbi of a country qualifies for an article? I’ve not seen that rule anywhere. And Surely almost any local politician, say, only has local notability. The question has to be is there coverage of this person in reliable sources, and this person is covered in reliable sources.

Redirect to Brighton and Hove Progressive Synagogue per ATD, PRESERVE, and CHEAP. gidonb (talk) 12:34, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Bearian and Otr500. This subject does not appear to meet WP:ANYBIO/WP:42. And yes, sustained coverage should go beyond local. WP:PRIMARY coverage belongs in external links, beyond consideration for notability. JFHJr (㊟) 01:14, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, probably, per gidonb. I hoped to find more coverage of him officiating at Britain's first bar mitzvah for a non-binary teen and at the first Jewish burial in the city of York for 8 centuries, because they are both notable occasions. All I have found so far is this [1], which just has his name in a photo caption. This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON - it sounds like he is likely to do more things that receive coverage.
