]Living Torah Museum
A museum started by a redlinked Lubavitcher rabbi whose synagogue and book were deleted as lacking evidence of significance (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liozna). No evidence of significance, no references, 39 unique Googles. Looking at the excluded Gogole results I think this has also been astroturfed in the past. Guy 13:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- DELETE. Not notable --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 02:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Very strong KEEP. The reason for this listing for deletion is wrong, a google search for "Living Torah Museum" produced 48,000 results. Would seem most certainly notable of an article. Mathmo 03:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- but only 39 unique ones, as can be seen when you try clicking on the pages to see the results. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 12:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for a lack of both established notability and verifiable information. One of the references given is a blog, written by someone who hadn't even seen the museum. Not quite what I'd call a ]
- keep. It is museum, it exists and it is verifiable. As for deleted rabbi, the problem was not with rabbi, but with authors of the deleted articles who wrote incoherent and badly titled texts. `'mikka (t) 00:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- There are museums which fit in one room, and museums which fill whole buildings. Which is this? Is existence now sufficient for inclusion? The rest of the walled garden of which this was part has now been deleted. Guy 09:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep because the museum is unique since most Orthodox Jews do not visit secular museums - yet this one has the approval of being "Tanakh on a theoretical level. The rabbi who runs it, Rabbi Shaul Deutsch (and it is not a "crime" to be red-linked on Wikipedia as far as I know), also writes a weekly lengthy column about the subjects in the museum in the American Modia newspaper (which in itself would make him notable in many Haredi circles and always remember: notability is relative), a widely-read Haredi weekly read in Brooklyn and beyond. Google alone is no way to judge issues and subjects of importance to Haredi Jews, and how else is the world going to learn about Haredi Jews if articles about such things will be wiped off the map as illustrated by Guy's comments.

- Comment I would be much more inclined to vote keep if a second reference could be supplied, for example its coverage in Modia. TewfikTalk 19:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
