Was listed as a speedy. Article gives little context for notability but there is a reference in an older, published source. I believe a broader discussion is warranted before deletion. Uninvited Company 16:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per WP:A7, This applies to any article about a real person...that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant...This is distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability.
~~There's nothing in the article or it's reference to indicate why its subject is important or significant.~~ – ².O.^Boxing 19:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Jahaza; baby trout for me for overlooking that sentence. It satisfies my A7 query and WP:ANYBIO is met, so I'm not concerned with notability. – ².O.^Boxing

    - I'm half tempted to change my !vote to "speedy keep and nuke and salt" for putting that stooooopid song in my head!! ;P – ².O.^Boxing 21:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Was in an encyclopedia. The claim of notability is this paragraph: "In the 1880s, while yet a student, he was received by the czar as a delegate from many Jewish families who petitioned for a restoration of their right of settlement outside the Pale of Settlement. He was instrumental in convincing the Russian leader to grant their request."--Jahaza (talk) 19:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - Significance asserted, and WP:ANYBIO source provided. As an aside, he was also the father of writers and linguists Sergei Ignatyevich Bernstein [ru] and Aleksandr Ivich [ru], while his wife Polina Bernstein [ru] and granddaughter Sofia Bogatyryova [ru] were notable linguists and translators.
