WP:BASIC, I see mentions of Kidon, but not a lot of substantial coverage of him personally. this isn't in the reference list, but comes as close to substantial coverage as I've seen. There could be better coverage in Hebrew that I've missed. j⚛e decker ^talk 20:53, 10 January 2013 (UTC) Withdrawn below. --j⚛e decker ^talk 17:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete A lot of what I'm seeing there would probably qualify as WP:ROUTINE but I have a feeling a different picture would emerge if I were looking at Hebrew sources. The article is badly written but there is a lot there, and I'm surprised I'm not seeing at least some of that in searches. No prejudice to reversing my !vote if someone can successfully source this. I always have misgivings about articles that could be sourced if only we could have some help from editors who "speak the language". §FreeRangeFrog^croak 00:02, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A search for his name in Hebrew seems to be substantially more substantial (someone hit me) than the straight English search. Gonna need help with this one, it would be a shame to delete a bio that merits inclusion. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 00:04, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Preliminary observations: the tone of many of the news articles in Hebrew (from prominent Israeli news websites) implies that the subject is very well known. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 00:50, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Soliciting Advice I am the person who updated the entry on Mody Kidon. Most of the references are indeed in Hebrew, so I didn't think to link to them in the English entry. I will append these to the item. I would also appreciate guidance on how to improve the item to meet the standards. Thanks in advance. KundaDesign (talk) 08:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Subject appears notable in Israeli sources. Binksternet (talk) 17:32, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
While I can't make much out of the Israeli sources myself, I have more than enough trust in those who are assessing them here that I'm comfortable withdrawing my nomination. --j⚛e decker ^talk 17:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep what is left after recent severe pruning. Reinstate the deletions only with neutral sourcing. Do not reintroduce the puffery. GeorgeLouis (talk) 22:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
