Yitzchak Abadi[edit]

This new article seemed very interesting, but its references circled back a home page from the good rabbi's temple. A Google search produced no independent verification that this gentleman is a "prominent leader" in U.S. or global Orthodox Judaism, as the article claims. I am suspecting this falls very short of WP:BIO, and I would invite my fellow editors to confirm or reject my suspicions. Thank you, and Happy Passover for those who celebrate that beautiful holiday.

I agree that the words "a prominent leader of Orthodox Judaism in the United States and around the world" are a little overdone, as is the accepted style in some circles where every serious rabbi is immediately called "leader of his generation" and "venerable sage". Nevertheless, there are some additional sources in the article already, and the article looks acceptable. Debresser (talk) 08:58, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because he is definitely a well-known and WP:NOTABLE rabbi in the United States for long time yet, as the WP:RS and WP:V sources point out. IZAK (talk) 17:17, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am satisfied with the improvements to the references and will be glad to withdraw the AfD. Thank you. And Adoil Descended (talk) 12:21, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
