Tzvi Hersh Weinreb[edit]

Non-notable community leader. No google indications of notability, google news hits are all him commenting on events, no coverage of him as an individual. No outside sources. Mbisanz (talk) 05:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He is the head of the Orthodox Union, the largest Orthodox organisation in the World. Lobojo (talk) 06:26, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My blunder, the article now asserts and sources it notability in terms I can understand. Sorry for the confusion. Mbisanz (talk) 02:15, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep he is a very notable rabbi indeed. He can be found 137 times in the google news archive, he is mentioned 13 times in a non-trivial fashion in published works in the google books, an a further six times in scholarly journals. He is also a regular contributor to major publications including the Jerusalem Post and the Jewish Week. Quite apart from being the effective head (the president is a figurehead role) of the largest Orthodox Jewish organisation in the world, and a major opinion former, mover and shaker.
You say that many of the articles are merely comments from him, well just picking two at random are this and this one and this one andthis one and this one which described his appointment as VP, a role that the article describes as being that of the head of the OU, as I pointed out to you before the EVP role is the top job in the top Orthodox group in the world. "Non-notable community leader" - LOL. Lobojo (talk) 06:16, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Agree he is notable both due to his position and due to coverage by WP:RS. --Shirahadasha (talk) 07:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Would caution that statements like ~~"He is the effective head of the OU" and~~ "The president of the OU is merely a figurehead" appear to be original research and cannot be included in Wikipedia unless previously printed in a cited reliable source. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 07:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm satisfied that in this context, "Executive Vice President" has the meaning of chief administrator (what in most non-profits is termed "Director" or "Executive Director", the professional who helms the day-to-day operations and reports to a Board of Directors or Trustees).e.g. I'm not sure why this title is used, but non-profit terminology is variable. --Dhartung | Talk 07:25, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notability is established based on his position and role in the Jewish community and through the reliable and verifiable sources that satisfy the Wikipedia:Notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 07:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as he is the head of the OU which makes him automatically notable. He was picked to lead the OU after the Baruch Lanner scandal, itself very significant. This nomination is puzzling and troubling. IZAK (talk) 08:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep "Non-notable community leader" seems to be an oxymoron. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
strong keep he is also notable as one of the few a Rabbi with a phd in psychotherapist who can give an orthodox perspective on issue relating to mental health. He is the rabbinical liaison for NEFESH (the North American Network of Orthodox Mental Heath Professionals). Jon513 (talk) 11:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, clearly a notable leader of the Orthodox Jewish community. Lankiveil (talk) 13:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Comment Now that the nominator has retracted his nomination this discussion can be closed as speedily kept. Jon513 (talk)` —Preceding comment was added at 11:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep per Jon513. Culturalrevival (talk) 03:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
