Eulogy
[edit]This article sounds like a speech that someone would have delivered at the good Rabbi's funeral. I do not in any way dispute his menschkeit, but an encyclopedia article should report only the facts of his life. Also, the article does not yet convince me that he was notable in the sense of influencing events beyond his small community. Peter Chastain (talk) 21:07, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have earlier removed that section (when it was only half this size) and I'm going to do so again, for precisely the reason you mention--though I won't venture into the issue of notability (yet). Drmies (talk) 18:50, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Peter, I just saw you left the editor a note on their talk page--that was very nice of you. To Wiki15142: I'm afraid the biography as you had it cannot stand, but that simply means there is work to do. BTW, the notability issue is *probably* taken care of by virtue of the NYT obituary; it seems the consensus is that an obituary means notability. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 18:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- I've adapted the relevant information to be more appropriate for this context. All of this information is from the book "Walking Humbly with God", but I'm going to go through and find more specific citations wherever possible. Please be patient for now. Thanks!
