A first and immediate problem is that this story is being presented as a biography of a person when there appears to be  evidence only of the existence of a belief by JfJ or some Messianics, independent corroboration of the story appearing to be lacking. There appears to be independent evidence of a person with the name, but not of the story about him as told. If this article was restructured as being about a belief, perhaps with a section on opinions on whether he was a real person, we could discuss |notability etc. under the appropriate category. But the article in its current incarnation presents him strictly as an historical person and vouches for his actual existence, so we have to review under . And there simply simply seems to be very little independent evidence of his existence identified so far, not enough to meet . If he were a figure in a Messianic religious text we could identify him as such and say things like "According to Messianic religious text...", just as we do with figures in the Bible and other religious texts. Wouldn't there be newspaper accounts, literature or letters by conventional Jews opposing him, some independent contemporaneous evidence of his existence and activities
