Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zari Kovo

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎. Closing as keep, per the consensus. Most of the delete !votes (including the nom who are blocked currently as SOCK) are taken with a pinch of salt. But consensus is clear about the existence of notability, but further expansion of the article is required. (non-admin closure) The Herald (Benison) (talk) 02:00, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No notability, Real estate dealer. I don't think he has a place on Wikipedia. Otherwise any property owner could get an article. Tapal2024 (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The only RS, Haretz, is an article about Oded Kobo who isn't this individual. The rest aren't RS and I don't see anything about this person. Oaktree b (talk) 22:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b, could you take a look at the new sourcing presented below? TLA^tlak 14:53, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: no significant action. This is not suitable for Wikipedia. Unreliable reference ^{[unreliable source?]} — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Success302 (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.
Keep sufficient reliable coverage in Hebrew RS: Calcalist [1] , Globes [2], TheMarker [3] Marokwitz (talk) 16:02, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – per the WP:THREE by Marokwitz. TLA^tlak 04:09, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: As per WP:RSP, only Haaretz is considered reliable. Juice00001 (talk) 13:06, 16 March 2024 (UTC) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Juice00001 (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. [reply]
Keep. This is a disruptive nomination, with a nonsensical intro, from an account that has since been blocked. Easy pass of the GNG. No case for deletion whatsoever. One of the three "sources" above is a list of articles about Kovo. Plus there are more RS in the Hewiki article. Furthermore, with the rape conviction and jail time included, this is a balanced article. The delete !votes look like WP:NEXIST failures. For Juice00001 and Success302, with very few edits, this is the first AfD. gidonb (talk) 21:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Easily passes WP:GNG. Also known as "Bebo Kobo" etc, plus many sources are in Hebrew. Edwardx (talk) 14:18, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This entry was tainted with a lot of bad blood and a desire for revenge. The relevant corrections have been introduced. In my opinion, this page may be appropriate for the Hebrew Wikipedia but not for the English Wikipedia. The criminal charge refers to 1979 long before he became a real estate broker and made the deal of his life, so none of this is relevant to the English entry.

No one asked me to come here, I've been following this article for a while now and have made a few edits to it. I think this article is not worthy of Wikipedia. What you are doing is unacceptable. In a conversation it is customary to respect the opinions of other contributors, especially when it is not to your liking.. Developer19801 (talk) 13:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- Poor content. Should not be included in Wikipedia.Mhagay (talk) 14:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no Wikipedia importance. No significant contribution according to Wikipedia values. The only thing that stands out in this person's actions is his criminal record. A criminal record is not a criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia.Joshua Royal (talk) 15:34, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While I have no opinion on what should happen with this article, I thought I'd point out to the ineventual closer that except for User:Oaktree b, all of those editors advocating Delete are low edit accounts who have been active for several months. What drew them to this AFD discussion, out of the hundreds that are currently open, I do not know. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: First article is about Kovo, going into some description of his life. The second one is a series of articles, the last one is about him disputing a rape conviction in 1979. First perhaps helps notability, I'm not sure the rest do. Oaktree b (talk) 23:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Marokwitz and others, there seems to be enough coverage at the very least in Hebrew, which would meet the requirement for notability. That being said, I agree with @Liz that some of these edits appear suspicious. FortunateSons (talk) 10:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
