Unable to find any non-trivial, reliable sources independent of the subject in order to sufficiently establish the notability of the contested prod. This is a long-standing unreferenced BLP that does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, or WP:ANYBIO. J04n(talk page) 23:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep due to WP:NOTABILITY and WP:V because the Country Yossi brand is a widely-known and distributed set of musical tapes, magazines and a long-standing radio show that caters to the hundreds of thousands of English-speaking Orthodox and Haredi Jews and to their youth in the United States and beyond, and sold in most Judaica and online Jewish music and song for children stores and online outlets. Yes, the article does need sources, but this subject is encyclopedic. I will try to add more sources. P.S. In the future, could the nominator please put in a request at WP:TALKJUDAISM to see if any Judaic editors could help out with this. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 17:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• comment, I posted this discussion at WP:TALKJUDAISM. It certainly appears that he is notable, but I made a serious attempt to source this article and found nothing but trivial mentions. I do hope that someone out there can do a better job but until then this an unsourced WP:BLP so should be deleted, userfied, or sent to the incubator.

• Keep appears notable.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• NOTE: The article has now been re-structured, upgraded and considerably improved with 22 new references and sources that describe and explain why this article is important. By the way, "Country Yossi" is actually a brand name that is derived from its originator, (just like Newman's Own does not equal Paul Newman even though he is the supposed creator of it). The nominator is therefore kindly requested to withdraw his nomination. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 20:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• I happily withdraw my nomination per the strong work by IZAK. J04n(talk page) 00:28, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear JO4n: Thank you so very much. IZAK (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
