Deleted PROD & recent cleanup[edit]

I have deleted the recent PROD tag on the article as the premise for the action, that the article does not meet WP guidelines for Bios, is unfounded. The subject was a notable religious and communal leader, author and activist. The article includes more than enough sources to support a reasonably-sized article on the subject. However, the article was in need of a major cleanup and I have done the following actions to improve the article quality:

Removed personal information that lacked a citation
Improved format of several references
Re-structured article to place personal history at the end of the article (the subject is mostly known for community work)
Improve lead and works sections
Add new references
Add WP project links to talk page with initial ratings

Some refs and sections continue to need cleanup. I.am.a.qwerty (talk) 13:19, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The "leader" of a small out of town community still doesn't seem all that notable.Yaakovaryeh (talk) 11:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Year[edit]

Posner was born in November of 1926. The mistake in his birth year most probably stems from the fact that he was born in the year 5687 AM (on Kislev 12). 184.100.19.114 (talk) 04:24, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
