Leon Toubin

[edit]

(Upgrading contested speedy delete). Fails to assert notability. The B'Nai Abraham Synagogue, Brenham is notable; but the identity of the caretaker of a small-town place of worship doesn't seem separately notable. Gordonofcartoon 14:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO guideline. Lack of reliable sources is also a concern here. --S iva1979^{Talk to me} 15:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm more concerned about a lack of sources to back this up. My opinion is that 99.9% of the time someone who meets noteability requirements has the ability to be sourced and verified. This individual does not seem to and therefore does not meet noteability or credibility requirements. WikipedianProlific ^(Talk) 15:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per nom, all of the above, and ((db-bio)). --Evb-wiki 15:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - Here are three additional sources for notability. Thank you for considering the below.

Leon Toubin is cited as a Jewish Texan source for the book Growing Up Jewish in America: An Oral History, just google it with the name Leon Toubin and it shows up. ""As Leon Toubin comments on a Texas community in this entertaining oral history" [[1]].

He is a business leader as noted by the Toubin Pocket Park Project [[2]]

He is a civic leader as he is secretery of Blinn College Board of Trustees. [3]

There's more info, but I feel the above more than backs up the validity and notablility of the article. Thanks. Bhaktivinode

But there are zillions of small-city business/religious people who are on local committees. The Notable Residents section for Brenham, Texas gives the flavour of the level of notability expected for inclusion here: some kind of national, or at least wider regional, reputation.

Delete No notability established. Very small scope for popularity. Corpx
Delete Not notable, just another local interest story.Montco 20:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, has sources but still not good enough to establish notability. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 20:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not notable, and I agree with Gordonofcartoon that there are lots of "small-city business/religious people who are on local committees" (unsigned comment by User:Onceonthisisland)
Weak delete Concentrating on the strongest point, secretary of the Board of Trustees of a local college, its a two year community college, and I do not think this is quite enough. DGG (talk) 08:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator, fails much more than just the WP:BIO guideline in my opinion. Burntsauce 18:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and WP:BIO. The statements about him here and in the article do not support claims to notability. --Metropolitan90 03:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above, although I am sure he is a mensch. Bearian 18:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
