Gary Krupp

More non-notability by the same editor who brought us Lawrence Eliezer Kepecs, Ofer Barnoy and Victor Beck. RickK 23:01, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable, vanity. - Etacar11 23:28, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability not established. JFW | T@lk 01:00, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as with the other three. Quale 02:07, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 06:40, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Not a Cantor, so not eligible for CantorWiki. --Simon Cursitor 07:37, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as User:Jayjg said either in the VfD for Képecs or on the Képecs talk page, this guy (Krupp) is more notable than Képecs. That said, my 9th grade English teacher wrote a couple of children's books and is arguably more notable than my 12th grade English teacher who was accused of having molested a couple of girls (he was acquitted tho eventually). Neither of them, more or less notable, however, is sufficiently noteworthy to warrant a WP article. The same thing applies here (without meaning to impugn the abilities, accomplishments or character of either Képecs or Krupp). Tomer ^TALK 09:33, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep What you are doing is a terrible thing. I am a singer myself, though I admit not as good as these three cantors. What does it hurt you so much to keep it? I liked Krupp's article and Kepecs' equally as much. It shows what professional cantors are really involved with, besides being "prayer leaders". They are typically involved with community events, charitable causes, helping others, teachers, and trying to help the world reach a higher spiritual level at the same time. The whole purpose of the trip to Rome was to build bridges between many fighting factions. The orthodox condemn the conservatives and reform in Judaism, and vice versa, and in the past there was not such a good relationship with the Vatican, as there is now. This trip brought everyone together for a common cause. It was so powerful an event. Cantor Beck, Cantor Kepecs, Gary Krupp, and Cantor Barnoy were essential figures in trying to bring about world peace. Do you know what that is?? It's a noble cause, and should not be condemned, but rewarded. I wish we had more people in this world like these three superior cantors and the Commandatore who "make good things happen" in the world we live in. And I am not a sockpuppet. You apparently have an article about him so I guess he is more notable in your book than any of the aforementioned cantors. Ask yourselves, do you want the world to be a better place, or a worse place. --Rigoletto1 12:15, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

  • You apparently fail to understand what is going on here. Wikipedia is not a biographical catalog of everyone who has ever tried to do anything any- and everywhere. Nobody is condemning nor demeaning these men's trip to the Vatican, nor is anyone saying that they shouldn't be rewarded. A vanity article in WP, however, is not a reward, it's a violation of Wikipedia's biographical articles policy. As for the orthodox condemning the conservative and reform and vice versa, not only is this a caricature, but utterly irrelevant to either this discussion or to the article.

• KEEP He is an important figure in Judeo-Christian relations, as are the cantors you wish to delete as well.--Cantors 14:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. While this guy is more notable than Kepecs, it still doesn't make him worthy of an encyclopedia article, and this nonsense of sockpuppets who have spent two months now trying to insert the boilerplate "141 Jewish leaders met the Pope, the most significant event in history" text into at least a dozen articles, even to the extent of creating several articles solely for that purpose, must stop. Jayjg ^(talk) 15:50, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not noteworthy enough to include. Lots of people meet with the pope. Xcali 02:40, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. JamesBurns 10:57, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all of them --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 13:22, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
