Other than a few contributors trying to clean it up to Wiki Standards, appears that all revisions of the article were generated by new user only interested in this page.
Suggest it is an 'ego-article', and notibility is questionable.

- Nice rewrites! Retracting above. --Haruth (talk) 00:05, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Not sure what rewrites you are referring to, as this article still requires substantial amount of work. I have been unable to find anything written about him, not just by him. Senator2029 | talk | contribs 05:05, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

P. David Hornik → Choosing Life in Israel – Given the no consensus result of the AfD, but the arrival of many sources reviewing the book, I would propose a move of this page, which doesn't have a lot of sourcing about him, to a broader page about Choosing Life in Israel, allowing us to put a couple lines about Hornik while expanding the page on the actual book. Thargor Orlando (talk) 22:03, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- Keep. He is widely read as a journalist, publishing many articles in many sources. We have sourcing for biography, which were deleted,[1] WP:PRIMARY is ok when it deals in basic facts like where he works etc.. It would effectively delete the article by way of having "a couple lines about Hornik" relegated to another article. The better way is create a new sub-section in this article for the book. But even if a separate book article were created this article wouldn't be redundant as the same sources can be used for the author and book article in determining notability. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 23:42, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- This isn't about deleting the article, but instead moving the minimal biographical information that can be sourced to reliable, third party sources into an article about the topic at hand. This is not a rehash of the deletion discussion, but rather how to deal with the situation at hand. Thargor Orlando (talk) 00:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- Keep the name as is/don't merge. For the reasons presented at the AfD. And as per our AfD rules have a no consensus defaulting to a keep, I think it is fine to keep the article as is. Sometimes at AfD there is a consensus to merge, and that is the result. But that was not the case with this AfD.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:26, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose. Completely inadequate and irrational rationale. Strong smell of POV, and attempt to use RM to overturn failed AfD. Absolutely no suggestion or evidence that this guy fails the GNG, so we should have an article on him, it's a complete no-brainer. Andrewa (talk) 14:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
