Akiva Israel

Non-notable bio. Suspected auto bio. Verging on spam. -- RHaworth 13:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, User clearly does not yet know about proper Wikipedia formatting style. Allow time for sourced citations to appear, and if not, re-submit. Smee 13:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
Keep for now, the article has been edited on a continuous basis since creation, and in this special case I would have been more in favor of an unsourced tag then an AfD. Helping new editors along can be just as valuable as keeping wiki clean Alf^Photoman 15:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Edited on a continuous basis. Are you looking at the right article? There has been just one tiny edit: "Warsaw" -> "Warsaw Fire". -- RHaworth 17:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, must have had the wrong glasses on, nut you'll take my point that, especially with a new editor, requiring sources before deleting is a better way. It does not hurt to have a article a week longer. Alf^Photoman 17:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as hopelessly Nn. Wrote one book published by a vanity publisher. The only book review is an oral one from a teacher, saying he couldnt get past the introduction. This is nonsense. It harms WP to have it up even for a week. The nom was being appropriately gentle to an admittedly clever newbie in not using a speedy. He would be helped most by being quickly redirected away from this sort of contribution. DGG 02:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, for someone so contemporary, not a single Google entry confirming that this violates WP:NN and probably even WP:COI because evidently "Akiva Israel" is also "Akiva Avikaida" and it was Avikaida (talk · contribs) who created this article, making this seem so amateurish and self-promoting. The book does get a few repetative commercial hits for sale at Amazon where he is not called "Akiva Israel" but "Akiva Avikaida" which gets about five hits for the book. This just confuses things. Sorry, maybe next year he can get an article, but not now as things stand. IZAK 12:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non notable per WP:BIO. Google search [1] on author and title gets 28 hits, none from reliable sources. Nuttah68 12:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable, not a crystal ball, etc. Avi 18:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
