Assessment of "sources" in the article at present w/r/t GNG:
—swpbT 13:50, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Weak claim of notability, but the sources don't support the claim as thoroughly analyzed above. Nor could I find any sources in a Google search, though there may be some issues of systemic bias here. Alansohn (talk) 18:09, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. His name is spelled Gedalya Finkel in English. And yes, there is systemic bias. I'll try to look him up in a few books written about the Finkel family. Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW, the spelling "Gedalya Finkel" doesn't turn up any more than "Gedaliah Finkel" in Google, Google News, and Google Books – just a few trivial mentions, mostly in the context of his brother. —swpbT 13:50, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the rublic shows we have no sources that could go towards GNG, let alone the required multiple.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:50, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I am unable to find sources outside of those in the context of his brother, Nosson Tzvi Finkel, or eulogies he delivered for his brother. He is simply not notable per WP:BIO. I am just concerned that the reason an article was developed about him is because he is in the Template:Mir Yeshiva navbox which lists the administrations and staffs of the various Mir yeshivas. His name will remain a redlink there. Yoninah (talk) 18:57, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- ```Comment```. Did anybody look at the Hebrew Google Search results for his name? "אמרי+גדליה""גדליה+פינקל" and the name of his works? רח"ק | Talk | Contribs 18:33, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
