This article was nominated for deletion on 26 February 2008. The result of the discussion was keep.

Untitled

In The Oslo Syndrome Levin introduced an original concept that has passed into a standard part of the political analysis of the Middle East. Originating a concept in a field of study - in Levin's case a unique amalgam of his expertise in psychiatry and history - is grounds for judging an academic notable.

And, really, anyone with a serious boook of nonfiction that is this widely cited is notable.American Clio (talk) 23:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please back and take another look at the article before deleting.

But Levin is being discussed by serious journalists. The Jerusalem Post and the New York Sun are to the right of center, but they are respected for high journalistic standards. Heis ideas are also being discussed by by authors writing books on Israeli society.

But on this quesiton of notability. A guy writes a book that is published by a respectable press and widely reviewed. (this one is also widely discussed, but even supposing it wasas not discussed in the press, just reviewed)

Why not have an article on him. poeople will want to know who he is. \

And we have infinite space. We really can agree to put up interesting figures who may not be world famous. In fact, I think that this is the great opportunity Wiki phas. After all, if I want to know about, say, Francis Fukuyama - easy as pie. But Kenneth Levin - where else cna you go to find out what degrees he has, what his early books were, etc.

Please don't be so eager to delete. American Clio (talk) 15:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC) American Clio[reply]

Missing reliable sources

The references in this article are almost all to dead links or opinion pieces used to source statements of fact (usually not acceptable per WP:NEWSORG). The exceptions are one primary source, a text by Mr. Levin with an introduction of unknown origin, and a news article from The New York Sun, neither of which (IMO) clearly supports the sentence they follow.
