This article does not appear to meet WP:GNG, the only non-independent cited source includes only passing mention of the subject and does not clearly demonstrate notability. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 16:08, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

oppose/keep Subject has been showing up a lot on news sites recently, I'll have to do a search. The new org he runs claims 2000 rabbis behind it, see the new cite by X-Editor. So he's much more notable than when page was created (by me, 2009) and the last time it was nominated for deletion, which was rejected. The page needs to catch up, and the org needs a page too. I can work on that next week, I just haven't been active or kept up. Avigdorim (talk) 16:32, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Curious, could you link me to the previous AfD? I wasn't able to find anything but would be interested in reading. SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 16:35, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I just have this vague memory of this being discussed, probably between 2010-2015. I was just trying to find it myself. Avigdorim (talk) 16:37, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty rusty on Wikipedia edits, and I'm sure I'll mess up the Infobox, but I'll try to revamp this page... well, I see a deletion is normally 7 day discussion, so I'll try to make some edits here Sunday. You've reminded me to dust it off. Avigdorim (talk) 16:46, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, adding to the article would be great. Others will also likely chime in here with feedback. Cheers, SiliconRed (he/him • talk) 16:53, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

oppose/keep I think the page should remain because Rabbi Menken is a prominent person. Becky613 (talk) 17:13, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Judaism. Shellwood (talk) 16:40, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I added some material, and have started to build an article on Coalition for Jewish Values in my sandbox (I said I was going to do that "next week" on April 21). There's a lot here, all kinds of media mentions of the org and Menken as managing director, a lot more than I saw for his other work. So it's up for vote but I think both are notable.
