Withdrawn by nominator. I don't see how the few new secondary refs show Huss's "significant impact" per any measure of PROF#1, but I also trust Yoninah's background on this topic enough to see little value in carrying this AfD to term. Thanks, all czar ♔ 03:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep per Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Specific criteria notes #1. I don't understand this AFD at all. Boaz Huss is widely quoted and cited in contemporary Kabbalah literature; just look at Google Scholar for citations. I filled in all the references on the article.

Having a few articles with single-digit citations each (most influential: 22) usually doesn't count as being cited "widely", but I don't have a frame of reference for the field. I'll take a look at the refs added later tonight. czar ♔ 00:19, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
