Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sholom Rubashkin
and do not merge. I have placed the {{tl|current}} on the article's page and {{tl|Controversial}} on its talk page. The subject of this article has turned into, well, a big subject with many articles in many important newspapers and media sources. Not quite sure how this article gets to be nominated for deletion, it's been around for over http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sholom_Rubashkin&limit=500&action=history three years. On the contrary, it needs work to become a serious  article befitting a serious , but NOT "deletion" for goodness sakes. Sholom Rubashkin is presently the focus of a major trial and has garnered total support among all sectors of American Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox, Haredi Judaism|Haredi and Hasidic Judaism|Hasidic Judaism. He is a major Chabad Lubavitch lay personality by dint of his (former) wealth and status. Articles and ads pleading on his behalf appear weekly in the English language American Haredi Judaism|Haredi Yated Ne'eman (United States)|Yated, Hamodia and Orthodox The Jewish Press. At this time, among many American Orthodox Jews, his cause and attaining exoneration and freedom is on a par with the the tragi-sagas of the French Dreyfus affair and the Russian Beilis trial. Anyhow, a few simple Google searches for http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rubashkin+news&aq=5&aqi=g10&aql=f&oq=rubashkin&gs_rfai= "Rubashkin news" (yields over 800,000 hits); http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22Sholom+Rubashkin%22&btnG=Google+Search "Sholom Rubashin" (over 200,000); http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Rubashkin+trial%22&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=f&oq=&gs_rfai= "Rubashkin trial" (over 30,000); http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rubashkin+scandal&aq=5&aqi=g10&aql=f&oq=%22Rubashkin%22&gs_rfai= "Rubashkin scandal" (over 100,000); http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rubashkin+case&aq=8&aqi=g10&aql=f&oq=rubashkin&gs_rfai= "Rubashkin case" (over 280,000); etc etc etc, whichever way one slices it, this has become a BIG story about someone who, even had he never landed in court, would have been worthy of a biography based in his achievements in becoming the BIGGEST supplier of kosher meat in north America over the last 25 years. Therefore, what is called for is a balanced, NPOV and detailed biography of this man and the complex story that now surrounds him
