Fails WP:BIO by a wide, wide margin. A conviction for possessing more ammo than he was licensed for does not make him a notable member of the Haganah. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete completely non-notable. Mztourist (talk) 09:22, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the Hebrew Wikipedia page is extensive, showing Sacharoff's important role in military acquisitions until the 60s, his role as an industrialist, and being a symbolic torchbearer in 2007. Vici Vidi (talk) 07:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Being a weapons procurer does not seem to support notability, nor does the establishment of a plywood factory make him a notable "industrialist". Clarityfiend (talk) 07:04, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability is established by numerous reliable sources albeit not in English as noted above. brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Was going to !vote delete based on the state of the article, but the he.wiki version has lots of additional detail that suggests notability. Numerous Google Books hits too. Number 5 7 10:46, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is are several Gbook references, but they are identical in content, having 2 extra bullet that his licence allowed or 2 extra clips than his licence allowed, and constitute passing mentions. It is almost the same sentence in every entry. The [1] is unsourced. If the was additional reference in Hebrew or English for the Hebrew Wikipedia were available, they would already be present in the article, but they are not. It largely unsourced. The one reference is an autobiography, written by himself. scope_creep^Talk 18:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
