Moshe Tzadok[edit]

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

Article has no clear claim to notability as per WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Sources fail to establish WP:N. A quick search on Google failed to produce any evidence of notability. Article was twice nominated for PROD and twice tags were removed on grounds of potential notability. If someone can find in depth WP:RS coverage establishing notability I will happily withdraw my AfD nom. But I don't think articles should be kept on a "maybe it's notable" basis. Notability is a standard that must be proven. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:30, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep hell yes the General, Northern Commander AND Southern Commander, Moshe Tzadok (משה צדוק) is VERY notable. I would admit the article in its current state is in VERY poor quality and demands immediate attention. --CyberXRef^talk 02:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Based on the cited source (an Israeli state memorial yizkor page) [1] and my Google-translator-assisted reading of it, this person was a senior official in the Haganah and in the IDF. The yizkor page says he died in 1964. It seems that his name is more often transliterated Moshe Zadok in English. Under that name, he is listed in our Wikipedia article as the first head of the Manpower Directorate, and is mentioned in a number of other articles about Israeli military history. A Google search shows his name (both spellings) turning up in quite a few articles about that subject, but I am not sure how much depth these have about him specifically.--Arxiloxos (talk) 03:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw AfD Nom Based on strong assertions above of notability which I presume will shortly be affirmed with appropriate sources. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
