Pal-Kal: The sourcing is from a patent and an article about the inventor going to jail.  I can only find confirmation of the inventor's legal issues.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 16:23, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would say trim down greatly and Merge with Versailles wedding hall disaster , since that seems to be the one point of notability for this construction method.  WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk ) 16:45, 23 July 2023 (UTC) Striking my previous Merge and changing to Keep per sources listed below.   Not all of those are necessarily significant coverage, but at least one of the English-language sources was, and I'm guessing many of the Hebrew sources are as well (I don't read Hebrew, so I missed those).  WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk ) 21:36, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You may want to check out the abundance of sources that support keep by WP:GNG .  Both in Hebrew and English! gidonb ( talk ) 00:36, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  Easy pass of the WP:GNG per [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] ] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] This is just some of the coverage.  The WP:SIGCOV is WP:LASTING .  Structures had to be strengthened through all of Israel drawing tons of attention and a national effort exists to replace all PalKal structures.  The inventor was sent to prison for 4 years.  gidonb ( talk ) 19:21, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Architecture-related deletion discussions .

I went through his references, some of which were published decades after Versailles, and discuss the ramification's of Pal-Kal's continued use in buildings.  Particularly strong are #3, 13, 19 ( Ynet ) 5 ( Calcalist ) 6, 7, 10 ( Globes ) 8, 17, 18 (Haaretz) 9 ( Israel Hayom ) 12, 21 ( Arutz Sheva ) 14 ( Walla! News ) 16 (The Jerusalem Post) and 20 ( Hamodia ).  The many details in these sources about the hows, whys and legacy issues with the Pal-Kal method, which is still an issue in hundreds of buildings across Israel, are simply [[WP:OFFTOPIC-- Geewhiz ( talk ) 07:02, 26 July 2023 (UTC)]] in the Versailles article. Havradim leaf a message 23:31, 24 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per the refs provided above. -- A. B. ( talk • contribs • global count ) 05:48, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep I did a different source search, looking for academic articles on the construction type, and found it to be easily notable just on academic articles alone.  SportingFlyer T · C 14:26, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Awesome!  Good to know! gidonb ( talk ) 22:54, 29 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep A notable construction method that had poor outcomes, no reason to delete. -- Geewhiz ( talk ) 07:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per Gidonb.
