While accomplished, he simply does not meet WP:GNG, and neither does he meet WP:NACADEMIC. His most cited work (which also happens to be listed first in the included selected works section), was cited only 54 times. Onel5969 TT me 14:13, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

- Comment There was apparently a meeting in memoriam for him, whose speakers included Menachem Magidor and Marcus du Sautoy. I doubt that's as noteworthy as a dedicated festschrift, but it's at least pertinent to evaluating WP:PROF#C1. I caution against using citation counts to argue one way or the other regarding WP:PROF#C1, since Moran worked in pure mathematics, a field where GS numbers are generally unilluminating.

- Comment - I worried about that
XOR'easter, since the editor creating these articles has been pretty spot on in terms of notability, except for potentially this one. Hopefully folks from the Mathematics group will chime in.

- I took a look and found two more which should be scrutinized: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Assaf Rinot and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ilan Amit. The creator recently created almost a dozen articles about Israeli mathematicians that should be reviewed. — MarkH21 ( talk) 03:46, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

- Delete: Seems to be just a little biography about his life, but no mention of his notability. A review of his work does not suggest that he made significant contributions to combinatorics, algebra, or set theory based on both citations (which isn't usually a good metric but is useful as a rough guide for whether an older mathematician was "established") and the journal quality of his publications. None of his works are mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia either. Furthermore, the one-day meeting in memoriam for him also does not really seem to classify as a notable mathematical memorial as it consisted of four general-audience talks with a memorial organized by his family as opposed to a mathematical conference organized in his honor or a major publication volume in his honor (plus, if we're really nitpicky, Magidor was a classmate of Moran under their PhD advisor Azriel Lévy). — MarkH21 ( talk) 04:30, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Can't see any major claims to notability here. Number 5 7 12:02, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Delete from what I can tell from the article. We need more than he is a scientist and did some very decent works in his field (there are too many such researchers for us to cover). -- Taku ( talk) 03:11, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
