Topic of article seems to have very little relevance outside of a very narrow scope of focus. Notability seems low; all references are either: in Hebrew, and thus useless to an English readership; dead urls; links that don't directly relate to article topic; newspaper clippings Revirvlkodlaku ( talk) 03:42, 14 March 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Cohen Kagan is mentioned along with his activities yet he isn't the topic of the coverage himself. Fails the WP:GNG. 18:53, 14 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gidonb ( talkcontribs)


I contests \ oppose deletion. This action maybe unconstructive since more efficient alternatives are more appropriate and does not require deletion. Atricle topic is valuable and has sufficient notability. It was created over 5 years ago and revised \ corrected \ contributed by number of highly ranked editors. Further reviews suggested. please feel free to improve. All the links are leading to official undoughtable sources. I will review and recheck the article according to your suggestions.

  • Delete looking at the accomplishments, he's been a vice-presend of several organizations involved in standards is Israel. It does not apear he was ever president of any. Our usual rule for officers of national associations, is that notability is only implied for the President (or other title) who's the actual head. DGG ( talk ) 06:23, 21 March 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Sources (including those in Hebrew, as there is no reason sources must be in English) appear not to provide significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources which are independent of the subject. Therefore, the article fails to meet the notability guidelines for biographies or general articles. For the record, I also struck a couple of duplicate !votes above.

  • Keep. Reading the article and using Google in Hebrew, shows me that the article is indeed notable: He was an envoy in the Israeli Embassy and one of the leading Israelis in the certification / standards field and represented Israel in international organizations. The problem is that this article does not reflect it enough. Therefore, I suggest asking the people who can edit this article to do so in the next month or so, before deciding its fate.
