May have sources offline, but just failed a BEFORE search. I don't expect an article to be finished, but we all need to expect biographies of living people to be immediately referenced with reliable references. I tried to draftify, but was reverted.

• Keep. There are no unreferenced/unverifiable facts. Multiple award winning poet, wikilinjked in wikppedia. Plenty of sources in Hebrew. The article is in progress. P.S. IMO it is a bad attitude to nominate minutes after the article started. One could have started at least with "notability" tag Loew Galitz (talk) 03:56, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Loew Galitz Unfortunately, we literally don't time any time with regards to references with biographies of living people. I tried to draftify the article so you'd have additional time to put in sources (including non-English ones), but you reverted me.

  Please indicate the statements which need references. Please cite the policy about "any time". Loew Galitz (talk) 04:01, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Loew Galitz The policy about "any time" is here. We have no time to have sources.

  As for the statements needing references: being gay would need a reference, as would being a victim of incest. Just off the top of my head. Anything that could be defamatory if untrue would need to be sourced; it's better to err on the side of sourcing said statements. Also the fact that she's notable (that is, she has been noted by others) would need to be sourced. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:09, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Please specifically indicate WP:BLP violations. Loew Galitz (talk) 04:23, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Once again, everything is referenced. Loew Galitz (talk) 04:13, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  the fact that she's notable (that is, she has been noted by others) would need to be sourced - Huh? Never heard of such rule. What about WP:GNG and state awards? She was noted by Israel Prime Minister. Is that not enough for you? Loew Galitz (talk)

• Keep. If the nominator is concerned about WP:BLPSOURCES, there are plenty of tags they could have used instead. There are sufficient sources already in the article (hewiki has more) such that we don't need to delete per WP:BLP. As far as notability goes, the subject won a notable literary award: Prime Minister's Prize for Hebrew Literary Works. That very likely indicates NAUTHOR #3 or #4. AleatoryPonderings (???)

• Keep: article appears well sourced, and even before being brought to AfD had a source for the key facts. Was the nominator challenging that source? Not clear otherwise why an article should be brought to AfD so fast, given that there is a source and that the Hebrew wiki article appears to have several sources. That said, perhaps the creating editor should have used {{in use}} to indicate that they had not finished their initial burst of editing (yes, I rarely remember it either, but it does seem a useful precaution).

• Keep: Since nomination, the article has been substantially improved, meeting notability requirements.--Ipigott (talk) 11:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, meets WP:ANYBIO and WP:NAUTHOR as brought out by above editors (no need to rehash what they have said:), i know the following may appear to be condescending but what the heck.... if/when editors have concerns about a foreign-language person in this WP might be a good idea to have a look at their country/culture/language WP ie. with Shez, a quick scoot over to the Hebrew WP and we find a well developed article with plenty that can be brought back to their English WP page, if an editor is not confident to do so (who can wholly trust gtranslate anyway:)) an improve from foreign-language tag can be added to the top of the wikiarticle, oh look one such tag has been added.

• Keep. Notable subject. Well sourced. Meets the professional guideline and WP:ANYBIO. Should never have been nominated or moved to the draft space. gidonb (talk) 02:47, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
