Create article on he.wikipedia first?

Number of issues. Spelling. Lack of English sources. Use of 5735 for year 1974 etc. Also this article appears to serve only to populate the oddly named category:Kohanim authors of Rabbinic literature. It might meet WP:Notability if there were more Hebrew language sources, but seems to be only one - and I suspect a lot of en.wikipedia users will have difficulty identifying the sole source given:

source as given: "Encyclopedia letoldoth chachmei yisroel, vol. 1 p. 95 (jerusalem 5735 HC)"
changed to read: אנציקלופדיה לתולדות חכמי ארץ־ישראל , Encylopedia of the Sages of the Land of Israel Mossad Harav Kook, Jerusalem, 1974 author יעקב גליס Yaakov Gliss.

Here's a hopefully helpful suggestion: Maybe write the article on he.wikipedia first, using actual citations from p95 of above? Or paste the relevant content from p.95 here? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:20, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems nothing happening and no interest visible to improve this from other editors. Which is a shame. If there is notable content here then let's produce it. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:34, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

it is אנציקלופדיה לתולדות חכמי ארץ־ישראל , Encylopedia of the Sages of the Land of Israel Mossad Harav Kook, Jerusalem, 1974 author יעקב גליס Yaakov Gliss. The page is about a known (to dikduk delvers) early source of dikduk nuance, i'd contribute a bit more to save it from deletion if neccessary. in any case the page does need more information, i agree, but it should not be deleted. 18:23, 16 April 2012‎ Marecheth Ho'eElohuth (talk | contribs)‎ . .

Can you please reproduce the paragraph in Hebrew that mentions this individual? Or at least give the name in Hebrew? In ictu oculi (talk) 23:34, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

for what purpose?--Marecheth Ho'eElohuth (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, so we can establish that there actually is a source, and what the name of the individual is. It's difficult to tell from the romanization you have employed what the real name is. Is it "אחיהו הכהן" ? Or is this the same name אחיה as in Ahijah the Shilonite? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have added in source per assumption that it is first name above. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:29, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

reason for deletion

I fail to see why this article should be deleted, am I permitted to remove the deletion nomination?--Marecheth Ho'eElohuth (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why not improve the article? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:39, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

you may not remove the deletion template. You should seek wikipedia's guidelines on biographies to improve it to the point where it is worthy of keeping--RichardMills65 (talk) 01:27, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
