This discussion was subject to a deletion review on 2013 November 7.
For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus default to keep. We need to do more research before bringing articles like this to AFD. Glovex104 has provided two very good sources. One of which shows that he is/was the CEO of Israel's largest advertising firm McCann Erickson-Kesher-Barel, and there are definitely more such as this one from the Haaretz that show the same. — Coffee // have a cup // essay // 18:10, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article about a living person. It has two references, but none of them mentions that person. So, the article is contrary to the wp:blp policy that every article on living person has to have at least one reliable source. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:14, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two reliable sources that include the person in the article were added. The other two refer to companies mentioned in the article. MyValues (talk) 13:52, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The links formats were changed to full citations. Plus, the page is no longer an orphan page. MyValues (talk) 22:55, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After adding references, fixing the links format and linking other pages so it wouldn't be an orphan page - are there any critical issues left? Thanks. glovex104 (talk) 14:49, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. I don't see anything that satisfies the sourcing and notability requirements of WP:BIO. While a successful businessman, there's just not independent coverage of his work, and his position as chairman of a regional subsidiary of a multinational company doesn't convey a presumption of notability. The Bloomberg investors page is not significant coverage, and the rest of the sources are generally about the businesses he is associated with and not the man himself; notability is not inherited.

Comment: Saying he his just 'chairman of a regional subsidiary of a multinational company' seems culturally biased. Plus, how is he any different from many other articles in his category that weren't deleted (Israeli_businesspeople)? Some examples are - Uzi-Eli Hezi, Gad Zeevi, Eli Elezra (is being a poker player notable while being a businessman isn't just because you're successful in the US and not in another country?), G. Yafit? Yaron Golan? Where is the uniform standard if this article is deleted but many others are not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MyValues (talk • contribs) 23:34, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—Per Squeamish Ossifrage, coverage on the individual only appears in context of his businesses. Doesn't appear to have enough standalone notability to support passing the GNG for an article. Livit⇑^Eh?/_What? 19:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've added two secondary sources in Hebrew which include (each) an extensive interview with the article's object. Glovex104 (talk) 18:14, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article may need a lot of work (OK, it does need a lot of work), but I think Shiloah meets WP:GNG. Between McCann, Matomy and TheTime, there's a lot he's done in the business world. He's also notable for his involvement in the "Harpaz Affair" in Israel. --FeldBum (talk) 21:55, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
