non notable director of a local theater group, the sole reference is a passing mention WuhWuzDat 18:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Reference from Indiana Public Media added. Loren 18:27 pm, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Rabinovitz is in fact "A person who made a widely recognized contribution" in his field as he has directed plays by Israel Horovitz, Michael Healey, Jon Marans and Wendy MacLeod. It is true that regional theatre is not as widely publicized as other forms of entertainment, but within Rabinovitz's field he has made considerable contributions.

Comment "new reference" is yet another passing mention. WuhWuzDat 18:44, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CommentThe wikipedia article for Rabinovitz states that the New York Times has noted his work-not that it has written on it extensively. The fact that he has been reviewed by the NY Times makes him notable-as well as his work in regional theatre with very notable playwrights. Please refer to the 'Accomplishments At The Bloomington Playwrights Project' section. Loren 18:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpplitmanager (talk • contribs)

Please review WP:Notability. WuhWuzDat 19:01, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it stands. 'ably directed by' is the best I could find in the two refs. What's needed is something independent reviewing or discussing HIM not just a bare mention. It would look odd if they didn't mention the director at all, wouldn't it? Working with people who are notable doesn't mean the notability rubs off. He may well be notable. It's claimed, but not shown. What's that American state with the catchphrase "I'm from (?state) - show me!"? It's a principle here, too. "We're Wikipedians - show us!"
