Complete advertisement that fails the WP:GNG. This is also written by a user whose edits are only on this page making this a probable web host. That also brings up a possible COI. AmericanAir88^(talk) 14:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy DeleteAdvertising. Fails WP:NCORP. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 15:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I stubbed this down (removing most of the unsourced content, sourcing the rest) + added sourced content. This is one of the two main telephone directories in Israel (and has a bunch of associated businesses) - and is run as a subsidiary company of Bezeq. The sources currently in the article clearly pass WP:NCORP (or NWEB, GNG), and more sources are available. Icewhiz (talk) 16:31, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep article is now solid de to upgrades during AfD.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:17, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Directory assistance, where there is already a section for Israel's 144 service. Not convinced this need a standalone article. Number 5 7 09:20, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It used to be just directory assistance (that's the original use of 144 phone number) - but since the mid-2000s this has become the white pages (telephone directory) as well as a yellow pages (in direct competition with Golden Pages) and various business/advertising services.

Keep - Notability established by cited sources. I don't see any serious promotional issues in the current text. We don't delete stuff just because we have suspicions about the author. ~Kvng (talk) 13:24, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
