Stubifying the article per WP:ARBPIA3[edit]

First of all I stubified the article per WP:ARBPIA3. Second of all the article is full one sided WP:POVPUSH so if someone want to write WP:NPOV article he welcome to do so.--Shrike (talk) 11:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Don't try that again. we have is this Nishidani (talk) 13:08, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see here any consensus to overture Arbcom decision.Moreover there is unreliable sources that can't be used in WP:BLP and serious WP:POV.--Shrike (talk) 15:28, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 10 July 2017[edit]

Things like "prominent Palestinian human rights defender" in lead are the perfect definition of WP:peacock. Could somebody please restore this tag until the neutrality of this article is improved?--Stephen Lang (talk) 02:52, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please change this part of the first paragraph:

At present, Amro is being indicted by the Israeli military court with 18 charges against him. The exact date of the trial is as of yet unknown.[1][2]

To this, which has updated information about the trial:

At present, Amro is being indicted by the Israeli military court with 18 charges against him.[1][2] In May 2017, Bernie Sanders along with three U.S. Senators and 32 Congressmen wrote to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to urge Israeli authorities to reconsider the charges against Amro.[3][4][5][6][7] HumanRightsUnderstanding (talk) 08:32, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Addition fails WP:OVERCITE. It's easier if an addition is referenced by one or two sources, but not five. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 15:31, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you jd22292 for pointing out the overcite problem. If there are no other problems, then how about this – same content but boiled down to two sufficient sources:

At present, Amro is being indicted by the Israeli military court with 18 charges against him.[1][2] In May 2017, Bernie Sanders along with three U.S. Senators and 32 Congressmen wrote to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to urge Israeli authorities to reconsider the charges against Amro.[3][4] (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:53, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 August 2017[edit]

Not sure this is the right procedure, but I'm resubmitting the request since the last one didn't get picked up on after I changed the overcite issue. Please change this:

At present, Amro is being indicted by the Israeli military court with 18 charges against him. The exact date of the trial is as of yet unknown.[1][2]

Please change:

On May 2017, a group of four U.S. Senators and 32 Congressmen, led by senator Bernie Sanders, wrote to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, asking him to urge Israeli authorities to drop the charges against Amro.[1][2]

To this:

Writers Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman wrote about Amro’s trial in an article for The New York Times entitled “Who’s Afraid of Nonviolence”, in which they condemned the charges.

Early years[edit]

On January 15, 2003, two years after the start of the Second Intifada, the Israeli army declared the Palestine Polytechnic University a closed military zone and sealed off its entrances.

Early years[edit]

Amro grew up in the Hebron’s Old City near Shuhada Street in an area that is now closed to Palestinians. His father, a school teacher, moved his family into H1 during the First Intifada when Amro was seven years old, as accounted in The Way to the Spring by Ben Ehrenreich.[1]

I read some news about Issa Amro and came to wikipedia to learn more. The wiki page is inline with what I read in other notable and balanced publications. I am surprised why this page is marked for deletion. Hopefully this page gets vetted and cleared instead of censored/removed. 199.106.103.57 (talk) 21:08, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use the edit request template in this manner. The problem with this article is the creator. The article can easily be created again by someone who has the privileges to do so. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 21:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Jd22292 I am going to remove the RfD, I would start this article, if no-one else did. There are lots of RS in the article, Ill add another one in a moment, Huldra (talk) 22:13, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator of the page, I'll just state that the issue with WP:ARBPIA3 was already discussed upon my creation of the article – and it seemed at the time that a decision was made to keep it. One of the frailties of WP:ARBPIA3 is that new users cannot possibly know about it beforehand. The article was accepted and the solution at the time was to put additional protection on the page. The topic is clearly relevant enough and has gained importance since its creation. If the content is decent, then this author pleads to keep it.

Change:

He is the coordinator and co-founder of the grassroots group Youth Against Settlements.

To:

He is the co-founder and former coordinator (2007-2018) of the grassroots group Youth Against Settlements.

Sorry, no. I have read the whole Newyorker article, and the proposed change is not in that source. You have to find a source which supports the proposed change, before the proposed change goes into the at article Huldra (talk) 21:42, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is in the quote "In 2007, he founded Youth Against Settlements, a group that protests and lobbies against the Israeli occupation and leads tours intended to convey the experience of living under the occupation of the West Bank. (Last year, Amro stepped down as the head of the organization to launch a sister foundation called the Hebron Freedom Fund.)"

"Last year" being 2018, since the article is from 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.159.167 (talk) 14:45, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for my mistake: you are right: it was in the article. So:
done, Huldra (talk) 20:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notable?[edit]

This article is bizarre. This individual is notable for his nonviolent activism? What are the criteria of notability? Has he published anything? Elected to public office? The tone of the article is highly biased. He is active in the West Bank, but his Arabic-language article contains only two paragraphs, whereas the English-language one is 30 paragraphs long.

This guy's article is longer than Mia Khalifa's lol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.74.163 (talk) 07:14, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
