• Delete This event is not notable, see WP:LASTING Proud Novice (talk) 21:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is a spin-off from David Twersky, and there is too much material here to be merged back into the parent article. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:03, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

David Twersky is not a very long page. The only reason that "there is too much material here to be merged back into the parent article", is because all of this detail is not relevant to David Twersky. There is it section in that article (Aron Rottenberg Incident) that sufficiently details the the facts of this episode that are relevant to David Twersky. It's not a notable event, and I think this may be an example of WP:POVSPLIT. Proud Novice (talk) 17:57, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article is a significantly notable event, backed by appropriate reliable and verifiable sources. There is an alleged connection to David Twersky, but including this material in that article would be inappropriate; It belongs as a standalone article.

• Delete - Unfortunately I don't find significant enough coverage to merit an article. Fails WP:EVENT. —UY Scuti ^Talk 09:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• keepThis is an important incident in learning about religious coercion and intimidation in America. The separate entry allows this incident to be easily searchable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexmo56 (talk • contribs) 15:17, 2 November 2015‎ (UTC) — Alexmo56 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep. Valid, sourced, notable incident. per WP:CRIME and WP:GNG--BabbaQ (talk) 11:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and Redirect to New Square, New York#Controversies, it's already described there in New Square, New York#Neighborhood disputes, otherwise this is just WP:CONTENTFORKING. Nothing will be lost, and everything will be put into proportion and its proper perspective and context by summarizing the main points and putting them in those sections. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 12:32, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and Redirect to New Square, New York#Controversies. The incident is marginally notable at best, and extremely confusing for the reader (at least this reader) because it is apparently embedded in some sort of arcane internecine sectarian conflict. If it stays, it should be on the town/village page to give readers a fighting chance of unpacking the context.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
