Dov Noy
- ... that Dov Noy founded the Israel Folktale Archives, which have collected more than 25,000 Jewish folk tales? Source: "... it contains over 25,000 folktales", earlier source, "...it contains 24,400 folk narratives", "...has collected more than 25,000 stories orally"

Created July 3, not July 9, but as of the July 9 nomination date that was still current enough. Long enough and adequately sourced. QPQ done. Earwig is overloaded and unavailable but spot-checking found no likely copyvio. Hook interesting and within rules. Both hook claims are almost sourced by the "Doyen" footnote, except their number is slightly under 25,000. "Over 25,000" is however in the Storytelling, Self, Society footnote. I don't think we can read anything from the publication dates of those two sources, which are both obituaries of Noy from roughly the same time. Different web sources have different numbers and the archives itself [1] does not appear to provide a current number. If we want to be cautious, we could say "approximately 25,000". I'll leave it up to the hook-builder, but other than that quibble this is good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
