This article has been around for about 12 years with scant indication of notability. There is one book cited, where he appears to be mentioned once along with a number of other religious TV programs in Chicago. A google search for "Rabbi Doug" or "Taped with... Rabbi Doug" or "Taped with Rabbi Doug do not come up with significant discussion of the person or the show in reliable sources, the results are social media and notes that such-and-such has appeared on the show. Perhaps it is notable within the Chicago area but I can't see it for a Wikipedia article. ... discospinster _talk 15:45, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment Does Rabbi Doug have a last name? There are too many rabbis named Doug listed in Google to be of help here... Oaktree b (talk) 22:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His full name is Douglas Howard Zelden (see also this edit from the SPA article creator). StonyBrook _babble 13:20, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. The show's host Doug Zelden is an unremarkable pulpit rabbi whose congregation Or Menorah was evicted from a temple building that was sold to another party. Coverage not significant in any way. StonyBrook _babble 14:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no evidence of genuine notability or in-depth coverage. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:35, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
