Non-notable individual/vanity. A cantor who also does art, and once had a tiny article printed about him in a minor weekly. Oh, and like a million other people, he met the Pope. Someone close to Kepecs has kept trying to insert this, and related material, in all sorts of articles. The Google test gets 4 hits for Lawrence Eliezer Kepecs, all from Misplaced Pages mirrors, and 4 more hits for "Lawrence Kepecs", 2 discussion board entries he apparently made in 1998, and two others apparently not related to his individual.

- Delete. Only the notable (or pokemon-related) can get an article. --Mrfixter 20:48, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The image of Kepecs with JPII is in several articles where it hardly or barely seems relevant, as in the article Relations of Pope John Paul II with the Jewish People which needs some dekepecsification (and perhaps a move to a better title, like Pope John Paul II and the Jews). If Gary Krupp (in the background) is notable enough to stay on Misplaced Pages, I suppose one could cut away Kepecs and the Pope from the image to get a portrait of him.

- This is a point that needs to be taken up on Talk:Relations of Pope John Paul II with the Jewish People (and I agree with you...). Tomer 09:07, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, not notable. Megan1967 02:56, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, where are the WP:MUSIC literalists to say performing internationally as a tenor may be criteria 2? Unenthusiastic delete, but Talk:Lawrence Eliezer Kepecs is interesting; keep it for reference for Hazzan, etc. Samaritan 04:49, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Concur with User:Samaritan on merge of talk page. Significant work has gone into trying to fix this article up to Misplaced Pages standards, which is admirable, but until Page 13 of the Oxford English/Hebrew-Hebrew/English dictionary, ©1998 ed. 4 has an entry, this guy is insufficiently noteworthy to warrant an independent article. I'm not opposed to the inclusion of his name in the caption of the pic of him giving the pope a mezuza, eventhough I think the gesture is unspeakably bizarre, but just because he's named in the Misplaced Pages doesn't mean he deserves a (badly written, incredibly POV) biographical article.

- Keep. Do not concur. Kepecs is a well known personality in the cantorial world. The fact that he was chosen by the Vatican to be one of thirteen cantors to sing for the Pope and presented him with one of his art works is an important point. This was the last group to meet Pope John Paul II (urged by the Pope himself I might add.) and made history. Kepecs' art I am told (currently doing research on it) has sold for as much as $65,000, and I believe he's got an album or two out on liturgical music. He is very interesting. Keep it for future reference.-User:Merlinzor May 5, 2005
