Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Stephen
I see no evidence that Stephen passes . There doesn't seem to be any real third-party coverage. The articles actually used as sources give precious little biographic information, and very little that suggests notability. (After all, coverage in third party sources is a minimum condition for a bio; it is not in itself a demonstration of notability; I can think of two news stories that deal with me in at least as much detail as these do, in real newspapers, but despite that I'm not notable.) As to the "rosh yeshiva precedent" - I'm in no position to judge the breadth of support for such an idea, and until someone updates  appropriately it's nothing more than an anecdote in a couple no consensus AFDs. Anyway, WEST itself seems barely notable (it also lacks third party sourcing), so using an argument of inherited notability based on being head the seminary strikes me as rather a stretch
