Support the deletion of both pages. The Donmeh West is just a defunct website, since the "founder" of the sect passed away. But the article about the person is clearly self-promotion, since he was not a recognized rabbi by any institurtion, and did not have any recognized academic degrees. Having been interviewed once by an Israeli newspaper, where the intervies was published only in Hebrew is no claim to notability on Wikipedia. Besides being clear-self promotion, the two pages are also clear attempts at religious advocacy and recruitment. warshy ^(¥¥) 19:19, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Donmeh West; Neutral on Yakov Leib HaKohain The article about Donmeh West does not meet the notability standard, nor can anything else be found in a Google search. In terms of Yakov Leib HaKohain, the Maariv article is a substantial one in a reliable and verifiable source that supports a claim of notability for his syncretic beliefs. There might be other sources, but the various spellings and the likelihood that they may not be in English raises some justifiable reasons to consider not deleting the article. Issues with the content and tone of the article for Yakov Leib HaKohain should be addressed via editing and discussion. Alansohn (talk) 18:19, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
