* As for Original Reasearch- I disagree. All the factual claims in the article are fully referenced by reliable secondary sources. As for notability- I wish to point that other claims of coincidence/precognition etc. are mentioned in wikipedia and some even got their own article in wikipedia, see e.g. [[Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences urban legend]], [[Bible Code]], [[Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan]]. Also see [[R v Dudley and Stephens#Cultural Impact]]. As for the rabbinical authors that uncovered the link- I'd be happy to credit them if you have citations for these. Ok412

*** It's not my synthesis at all as I mentioned at the start of the article that the observation was made decades ago and was since then promoted by many peopleand organizations. I now also added the attribution to the Rebbe of Vizhnitz and to Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl, though I'd like to see the citations. As for notablity, I don't think it's less notable than all the examples I gave above.

Contested PROD. This piece of wisdom is well known in Jewish circles, but it does not deserve its own Wikipedia article for notability reasons. The current article is a piece of original research that doesn't even credit the rabbinical authors that uncovered the "[5]707" link (it has been traced both to the Rebbe of Vizhnitz and to Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl).
