I'm a bit torn on this but so far the only claim of notability is that she's the first Hasidic women elected as a Judge. That being said, is that really notable enough to pass guidelines here? 🔯 Sir Joseph ^🍸(talk) 16:14, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator -- I will withdraw this nomination. I see the article has been expanded a bit and the subject can pass notability. 🔯 Sir Joseph ^🍸(talk) 19:57, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (I started this article; I'd been seeing articles about her in the Jewish Press for years before this judicial campaign and thought that wining the judicial campaign pushed her over the threshold of notability.) She is also notable as the founder of the B'Derech and Ezras Nashim organizations. These have received quite a bit of news coverage in the past. See for example http://www.thejewishweek.com/special-sections/jewish-women-now/we-are-reclaiming-our-job and http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/features/ultra-orthodox-female-emt-group-approved-in-new-york-state.premium-1.508721 She was already mentioned on Wikipedia in those contexts.EAWH (talk) 16:26, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As a member of a community where a significant percentage of men aren't involved in such roles and where an even smaller percentage of women participate, the claim of notability is strong. The ample reliable and verifiable sources that are specifically about her and her unique story are enough to establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 16:48, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
