An article on a midrash that is completely unsourced. The two sentence text of the article is copied verbatim from the public domain source indicated in the article, and that seems to be the extent of coverage on the topic. Every other source I was able to find was simply just the same two sentences, word for word. I am certainly no expert on the topic, though, so I am bringing it to AFD in case others may know more about the subject, and thus know where further sources can be found. If further sources are not presented, however, this should not be retained, as the single, brief reference to the text is not enough to pass the WP:GNG.

Delete per nom. From what I can see here, this appears to be a brief list of works which make reference to a lost work, with no indication as to what the lost work's subject was, who wrote it, or when or where it was written. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article says this midrash was mentioned but the text was lost. Unless a source can be found to show that this vanished midrash played an important role in something significant (in which case, why doesn't the encyclopedia mention it?), it is far below the notability threshold.
