  • Delete - Entire claim to notability seems to rest on the citation for the Fox Point Gazette, a publication that apparently does not exist . . . and of course on claiming authorship for several books which also do not exist. --Dynaflow babble 23:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Claim from the Fox point gazette quick google search and I cant find anything on it. Corruptcopper (talk) 23:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- Books are written in Hebrew and only available in Israel, therefore one would have to search in Hebrew at google.co.il to find such books. About Fox Point Gazette- some person edited it in, I deleted it though. No records of such publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.31.130.177 (talk • contribs)
  • Keep- I speak fluent Hebrew, and i've read those books several times, and I have to admit that they are fascinating. This kid's story is truly amazing, also considering he is only 14. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.76.66.171 (talk) 01:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- I'm 16 years old and I live in Israel, close to where Itamar Ginsbeg was born. I've read the first book, and I have to say that I have every intention to read it again. I really feel that i can relate to this guy and the things he talks about in his books. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.76.66.171 (talk) 01:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And yet your IP shows you to be editing from Milwaukee. How very strange. --Dynaflow babble 02:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- Used to live in Israel, heard about this guy, and my friends liked his books. Read his article on women's rights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.31.130.177 (talk) 01:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And you too. Also on a Road Runner IP out of Milwaukee. And then we have one of the main contributors, 72.128.79.207 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), at the end of Road Runner pipes as well -- in Hartland -- and the other "contributing" IP on a Charter connection in West Bend. It's really a small world. --Dynaflow babble 02:35, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I just undid five revisions to this page that were intended to disrupt the discussion.--S Marshall Talk/Cont 02:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Just for the sake of keeping things proper, the sum of the changes reverted is viewable here. I have a cold, and thus wouldn't be able to smell feet if I wanted to, but I definitely sense a good quantity of WP:MEAT in the vicinity. Subsequent readers should look carefully at the above discussion and note that the four "keep" !votes above this point were left by only two users, both from the same city where the article subject is reputed to live. I'm adding WP:HOAX to my reasons to delete. --Dynaflow babble 02:57, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Highly unlikely biography. None of the books, not even the english language ones, are in WorldCat. when the only Ghits in any language are in Facebook, the conclusion seems rather obvious. Speedy delete,perhaps, as nonsense. DGG (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Hoax, failure of WP:V—it doesn't really matter. Even if everything in the article were true, it would still not meet the requirements of WP:BIO. Deor (talk) 14:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as hoax. Edward321 (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for WP:HOAX. Note that all four of the Keep votes have been from the same two IP addresses. Livewireo (talk) 16:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: the article was moved from Itamar ginsberg to Itamar Ginsberg part way through the discussion. I have amended the links here. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:27, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as WP:HOAX and comment what --Dynaflow babble says. Someone should tell them that its not the amount of votes that count, but the reason. 100 Keep he's my friend loses to just 1, he's not notable WP:BIO. Artypants, Babble 17:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
