This is basically a promotional company profile for this guy's various real estate deals. I see nary a source that deals with him as a person, instead lots of share price bulletins and portfolio blurbs. He is not a sufficiently covered subject. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 11:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC) Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 11:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC) reply

• Hi, Am I in the right place? can we discuss the nomination to deletion of this article here?

I would like to state that its not promotional, i have put some effort to put this text together and honestly it not always easy to write over certain subjects and keep it neutral. So, I took your comments and went over the article, deleted some sentences, numbers and tried to stick to the facts. There is not much information on this person, I would be very happy if you can go over it and reconsider, I will edit even more in the next 1-2 days. Thanks, Hilit.schenkel ( talk) 19:47, 29 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Hilit.schenkel, if "there is not much information on this person" then that argues against having an article on them. There needs to exist a critical mass of coverage of a subject before an article can be written; if that coverage doesn't exist, then no amount of additional decorations will make it suitable. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 09:05, 30 October 2018 (UTC) reply

As I wrote before, I have added more references ( third party ones) since your comment and I have deleted some of the text. Writing that there is not much information on this person, was related to his personal life, not his career. His Career and business strategy has solid coverage and sources on the net and its appears in the article. Hilit.schenkel ( talk) 18:04, 30 October 2018 (UTC) reply

• Keep. Rather sizeable (personal net worth of 2 billion dollars or there abouts) investor / manager. Coverage in RSes over a decade. e.g. - [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Icewhiz ( talk) 12:11, 11 November 2018 (UTC) reply
• WP:HEY Keep per sources added to article by User:Hilit.schenkel plus those listed by User:Icewhiz. Real estate mogul with notability validated by coverage of major real estate projects. For example, Haaretz: Big In Berlin: "Yakir Gabay was the first Israeli to identify the potential of Berlin's property markets. By age 40 he'd already run Bank Leumi's underwriting company Leumi & Co., Freddi Robinson's real estate company Resido, and the Gmul investment company. In 2004 he decided to make his own mark, in Europe. Grand City Hotels & Resorts, which he founded, today owns and runs more than 70 hotels and has become the second biggest chain in Germany. It also owns residential and commercial property there and employs more than 100 at its Berlin headquarters. Gabay also runs hotels owned by his good buddy Teddy Saguy, who made headlines last week for an investment in Eliezer Fishman's company MirLand."

• Keep -- Per above comments. The sourcing now in the article establishes GNG beyond any doubt. The nom obviously only looked at the sources in the article at the time of nomination when a trivial search in GNews would have revealed the many, many RS about this guy. Yet another failure of WP:BEFORE. 192.160.216.52 ( talk) 19:23, 12 November 2018 (UTC) reply
