Michael Laitman
Per AFD discussion, this person's page on WP has been deleted multiple times for self promotion and general lack of notability. — UDScott 12:29, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep
 * I really don't understand why the Wikiquote page of Michael Laitman was also deleted. This page was not the recreation of a page that already existed -- the Wikipedia one was. The reason is that when I created the Wikiquote page on November 1st, 2010, I realized there was no Wikipedia page I could link the Wikiquote with. So after a research, I found one on Wikipedia, and recreated it with a proper name.
 * The reasons that have been mentioned for deleting the Wikiquote page are not justified. The page I created yesterday was all original content. So don't tell me it had already been discussed for deletion. If there was a Wikiquote's Michael Laitman page deleted before, it was certainly not the same one.


 * As for the "self-promotion" and "lack of notability" arguments I don't see how they can apply to the Wikiquote page. If it is self-promotion to quote books, then all Wikiquote articles are promoting books they are quoting from... And for what regards the "lack of notability", just know that Michael Laitman was the closest assistant of Baruch Ashlag until Baruch died in his arms in 1991. And Baruch was the son of Yehuda Ashlag, the greatest Kabbalist of the 20th century, if not of all times... So why don't we let Internauts make up their own mind about the quality and authenticity of Laitman's work instead of considering them as children who need parental advisory on what they should read or not. I really think some people acted to fast in deleting this Wikiquote page and I am formally asking for its rehabilitation. WikiMart 15:29, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
