Al-Hesbah

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Doesn't seem like a notable enough website for WP, and plus the claim about it being such a notorious "jihadist" website seems a dubious contradiction when other sources say it is a tool of Saudi intelligence. I could be mistaken but considering the lack of good sources and the contradiction, I suggest delete. Khorshid (talk) 19:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep, this is like saying 9/11 should be deleted because it contradicts itself saying that the government may have had involvement, or it may've been a surprise. It's not an admitted tool of Saudi intelligence, but the charge has been made. Its notability is easily verified, as it was monitored by more than 35 media outlets who used it as a source, including CNN, the Kuwaiti state media, KNews and others.

 * Keep- indeed notable, there is sufficient news coverage. Rigby27   Talk  14:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
