Strack seems to be a WP:ROTM evangelist, displaying nothing sufficiently notable to pass WP:BIO. He's been appointed by various presidents to do various things, but nothing stands out as notable. Of the references I have checked (about half) the majority show Strack exists, or are interviews with him, or are things he has said, lending to the feeling that this is WP:ADMASQ 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:32, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete I'm not seeing GNG. I tried looking for critical reviews of his books for AUTHOR, I can only find sites selling the books; other links are confirmation of where he works and various interviews or a website offering his services as a speaker for your event.

- Delete The nominator beat me to it. Here's a table with my assessment of the sources. None contribute to WP:GNG. I haven't Googled for others.

- Delete per nom and well, all of the above, stressing that in 2023, everyone knows that Wikipedia is non-sectarian charity, not a soap box. Bearian (talk) 21:07, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
