Not notable individual.No WP:RS are presented in the article.Seems like self promotion Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 10:06, 7 September 2012 (UTC)Adding to my rationale:The article clearly doesn't meet any WP:AUTHOR notability criteria.--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 15:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As has been pointed out by others above Michael Dorfman is a well known author with a many articles and a number of books published especially in Russian language media. Besides what can be found online you can find his articles in a number of Russian language newspapers offline. His articles has been critically reviewed primarily in Russian language media. He clearly meets notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. The article may have to be cleaned up, not deleted. Ariel Sokolovsky (talk) 19:13, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't the voting process, but discussion ~~Lamerkhav (talk •contribs
Yes but he is already said "keep".--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 17:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've been reading him for quite a number of years. He is a very prolific author on the subject of Jewish/Yiddish history and culture. I've been reading his regular column at http://www.sensusnovus.ru/category/opinion (I read Russian), but also read excerpts from his books. Not sure why this entry would need to be deleted. This is quite a prominent guy. Yashka78 (talk) 12:57, 10 September 2012 (UTC)— Yashka78 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Keep - persuaded by the abundance of sources. It's not a New Yorker Featured Article, but this is a specialized topic about Russia Jewish Yiddish culture so we need remember WP:SYSTEMIC can be an issue. The sources seem to support a notable person within the context of Russian Jewish Yiddish culture (and some outside that context). BTW I have no connection to the author or Yashka78 or anyone else, found this by going through the Author AfDs. Green Cardamom (talk) 23:13, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Compromise I'd love, if you'll propose a compromise. I fail to see what compromise may be, if the proponent wants to delete the article, and nearly everybody else suggests to keep it.

Removing COI

[edit]
  • I don't have any close relations to the subject, nor any bias toward it. I met him twice in 1998 and 1998 in Israel in the youth club "Lamerkhav" in Beer-Sheva. This is where I got my nickname. I have his e-mail, and I asked him about some details in the article, but this doesn't meet the criteria of COI by any means.

I removed this from the lede. Can we include his nationality in the lede if there are citations for that? The info box says American/Israeli?Thank you. --Malerooster (talk) 02:21, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could we also try to get some English language citations as well? Thank you. --Malerooster (talk) 02:26, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
