::::::''isnt significant? How many trainers do you know that meet have done this?'', probably not. And quite a few. These people come and go over the years. Would you consider an article about the head of, say, a big insurance firm. Or City trading bank? That is the sort of equivalance; sure Halevy has television appearances and articles etc. but there needs to be sufficient notability to separate him from the rest of us. --'''Errant''' <small>[[user:tmorton166|Tmorton166]]<sup>([[User_talk:tmorton166|Talk]])</sup></small> 21:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

*'''Errant'''? lol. That's pure interpretation. And quite a few have become brand spokespeople? And spoken internationally? The insurance CEO is a red herring. The CEO's identity is as the head of the corporation; he isn't a personality unto himself. Halevy is fitness personality - enough so to warrant frequent international media. I believe Halevy is pretty "separated" by being a brand spokesperson for a national brand and having regular TV & radio appearances for his expert opinion. Yup, I'd say that separates him "from the rest of us." How many articles, TV shows, etc, have featured your expert opinion btw? Exactly.

Fails WP:BIO. Halevy is a fitness trainer who is occasionally quoted by the media in fitness articles. Ronz (talk) 16:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous. Halevy regularly appears on national media, authors articles, and according to a recent blog, has landed a recurring segement on The TODAY Show. Ronz was hell bent on deleting this way back when and it successfully was defended here. There is no reason to re-open this in AfD. 72.248.3.102 (talk) 18:18, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Try doing a google search before you so hastily delete 72.248.3.102 (talk) 18:30, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Google is not an automatic measurement of notability --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 18:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Here's the definition: "notability is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular"—although not irrelevant—is secondary."
          • So a fitness expert who's on TV regularly, is an authority on certain subjects, has written articles, spoken internationally, and represents a national brand isnt significant? How many trainers do you know that meet have done this? What would that make Halevy represent -- maybe 1% at most of fitness entities? Exactly. This meets Wikipedia's exact criteria. If you think I'm wrong, walk into a gym and see how many trainers there have done any of the above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.248.3.102 (talk) 20:26, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
isnt significant? How many trainers do you know that meet have done this?, probably not. And quite a few. These people come and go over the years. Would you consider an article about the head of, say, a big insurance firm. Or City trading bank? That is the sort of equivalance; sure Halevy has television appearances and articles etc. but there needs to be sufficient notability to separate him from the rest of us. --Errant Tmorton166(Talk) 21:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
