Non-notable rabbi, as I don't believe that raising questions which are dealt with in responsa is a ground for notability. – Fayenatic London 20:08, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: an internet search for his name brings up many sources for a different person, Ted Steinberg. – Fayenatic London 20:11, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Can anyone please point me to the guideline to check for notability of rabbis? Beritagsier (talk) 20:34, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Beritagsier, see WP:CLERGY. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That guideline is pretty weak. Being a Chief Rabbi is not the only criteria. Being the head of a major synagogue or organization or Hasidic dynasty confers notability. Having lots of articles written about you over the years confers notability. Yoninah (talk) 10:58, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BIO. This does look like an obituary for a non-notable rabbi. Yoninah (talk) 10:56, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
