Completely unsourced biography. No person of that name to be found on "Levi+Pante" Google Scholar or Google Books. The person that resembles his biography closest that I was able to find is one "Loeb Fernbach" who became rabbi in Heidingsfeld (Heifeld?) in 1783, but other than that the biographies are different. I suggest to delete this article for now. bender235 (talk) 00:49, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• delete Looks like a punny hoax to me Furius (talk) 01:33, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In light of Hasirpad's comment below, I withdraw my delete vote, since it was based on a false premise. Furius (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: definitely real (Hebrew sources are easily available in the various databases of rabbinical literature—search "לוי פנטא‎"), but unusually obscure for a rabbi of his era; I'm not sure if he passes the notability criteria. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 18:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also note that I am not sure from where our article's transliteration of his surname is sourced; the only source I could find about him in Latin script (a German-language journal) refers to him as "Levi Fanta". (Fernbach is not identical with him.) הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 20:01, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: as not notable. He appears as a signatory (one of several dozen) on a historical document; a transcript exists of his gravestone and of two eulogies about him; he has a passing mention (one sentence) in a critical review of a book on the history of the Jews in Würzburg. (Were the article History of the Jews in Würzburg to be made, I suppose he could get the same there.) Not enough, I think, to confer notability to an 18th-century rabbi. The correct spelling, incidentally, is almost certainly Fanta, the name of a large Jewish family from Prague. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 20:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
