Mordecai Tendler[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article was nominated for deletion in 2007. In those days when we were somewhat less careful with BLPs, the article was kept, but the closing admin gave careful comment about BLP1E.

It is clear from the article that Tendler is not notable in his own right. He has illustrious forebears, which don't convey notability to him. He has a sub notable level of prominence as a rabbi. And he has been involved in a case that gained a lot of coverage.

As such, this article should now (finally) be deleted. Information about the case can appropriately be recorded in an article about the case, if that stands up to our notability criteria, and in passing in the article about his father. Dweller (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because there's only one Mordecai that's notable anymore. In all seriousness, fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:BLP1E. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 12:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per arguments of Dweller and Ten Pound Hammer. Yworo (talk) 13:11, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. An article about a defrocked cleric only "notable" because he was defrocked. Agree with other editors, particularly WP:BLP1E.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:00, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete - clear WP:BLP1E. ukexpat (talk) 15:18, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is really a WP:BLP1E. Avi (talk) 17:47, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Run of the mill WP:NOTNEWS, not an important/notable enough crime to satisfy WP:PERP either. Tarc (talk) 18:11, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Sadly the article is apparently used as a tool for biased reporting WP:BLP1E. Koltorah (talk) 22:13, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails both WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E. No need for an article. MacMed^talk _stalk 00:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and I think it should be noted that this living person has not been convicted of any crime either, as far as I can see. (Or even charged, I think?) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Thanks for mentioning that. Caused me to go back to the article and change the word "charges" in the context of the civil suit against him.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:00, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
