No external references or coverage demonstrated at all - except for a self-published entry at a PR blog. CSD template removed by another user whose only edits were to this article. Username of article creator (User:Linkproz) seems to imply this may be a promotional piece - see [1]. No hits on Google news search at all except for a mirror of said PR piece. - Vianello (Talk) 01:19, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Any instance on LinkProz is removed, there is not need for any promotional activity the main concern is the donations, and this Wikipedia piece will encourage other wealthy individuals from Russian decent for these types of donation. Please let's change the necessary items, and keep the wikipedia piece on this important individual. Linkproz (Talk) 04:27, 7 May 2013 (GMT+2)

  • Comment: So the purpose of the article is to promote this individual in order to solicit donations? I will let this comment speak for itself and advise the article creator to read WP:NOTADVOCATE. - Vianello (Talk) 01:30, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of this article is to be used as an encyclopedia piece, the meaning of the comment, that it does not have any business promotional purpose. I understand how this shouldn't be promoting anything, but please explain why now, in it's revised stage it should be removed.Linkproz (Talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'll rephrase myself, do you think an individual whos tax documentation shows of a net worth of over $500,000,000 USD, and which contribute to economy as well as save lives of thousands of children should not be listed in Wikipedia or is your issue with the way it is presented and would like for the article to be revised?

  • Comment: Though I brought the article here to get the input of others, not to debate, for purposes of at least providing a bit of explanation: The article does not provide one single reliable external source to indicate what WP:BIO notability criteria its subject meets - or to satisfy the requirement of WP:BLP that all biographies of living persons have sources for all their claims. I am merely offering this as an explanation. I will avoid further debate and allow those reviewing this AfD to offer their opinions. - Vianello (Talk) 02:46, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject: The only reference in the article that even mentions him is a press release (which by definition is not an independent reliable source). As noted in the nomination there is no other independent reliable coverage. In reply to Linkpros, a multi-millionaire philanthropist (like anyone else) should be listed in Wikipedia only if he satisfies Wikipedia’s “notability” standard as described succinctly at WP:42. —teb728 t c 03:59, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - PR placement by professional spammers. Bizarre as it seems to us oldsters, there is such a thing as a non-notable demi-billionaire nowadays. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. None of the activities is notable enough, nor is the corpus. Coverage in English is basically nil. If the crossout means there is not enough in Hebrew, then all the more Delete. The charity may deserve an article in future, but fails WP:ORG in any case at this time.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 12:18, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I took a look at this and the "references" when it was first created and thought it was really borderline. Having taken a second look it's definitely on the delete side of that line due to the lack of any reliable sources to establish notability. It's also promotional spam of course QuiteUnusual (talk) 19:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not Delete This is a very well known individual in Israel you can find a lot about him if you search his name in Hebrew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.19.81.47 (talk) 07:29, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do Not Delete Actually, I was able to find many refernaces to nahshonov, even in english, also on Belev Echad & on chaim kanievsky wikipedia pages. I was able to briefly verify about 60% of the information in this article, not sure about the rest since some of the sources are in hebrew/russianStatusg12 (talk) 09:30, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    — Statusg12 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Delete After examining (and truncating references that were inappropraite) we're left with simple references that don't justify an article about the subject. Hasteur (talk) 17:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
