Declined speedy (though I fail to see where importance or significance is asserted). Subject is not notable. ukexpat (talk) 22:03, 28 July 2008 (UTC) WITHDRAWN -- thanks for the additional references and templates.  –  ukexpat (talk) 13:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Any major student of the famed Chaim Soloveichik or early Rosh Yeshiva of RIETS is likely to be notable, and this is no exception. Sources include:
  • W. Helmreich, The World of the Yeshiva: An Intimate Portrait of Orthodox Judaism, Yale University Press, 1986 (Revised Edition, 2000).
  • M. Sherman, Orthodox Judaism in America: A Biographical Dictionary and Sourcebook, Greenwood Press, 1996.
  • YU Commentator article

Also, the article appears to make several assertions of notability, including his association with Chaim Soloveitchik and his role in RIETS. --Shirahadasha (talk) 22:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. A Rosh Yeshiva of a major yeshiva (i.e. a dean of a major school) is notable. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 23:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A student of Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik and Rabbi Chaim Ozer is clearly notable, though I can forgive Ukexpat for not knowing that. Jon513 (talk) 00:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep this notable rabbi and rosh yeshiva because he started as one of the most notable alumni to graduate from the famed Volozhin yeshiva in Eastern Europe, he is included in Template ((Volozhin Yeshiva)), and he ended his career as one of the earliest and most notable of Yeshiva University's RIETS rabbinical school rosh yeshivas and is included on the Template ((YU Roshei Yeshiva)). It is impossible to exclude him without destroying important chapters in the history of the yeshiva world and Orthodox Judaism. It has now been substantially improved, upgraded and wikified as a legitimate ((rabbi-stub)).
• Note: The nomination is misinformed and the nominator is requested to withdraw his nomination. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 09:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I beg to differ - please assume good faith. At the time of nomination it was not misinformed, the article on its face was not clear to a layman as to the notability of the subject, it is now much improved and the nomination is withdrawn.  –  ukexpat (talk) 13:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As per IZAK. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 10:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
