Cheryl Bentov

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is about a Mossad agent whose sole notability derives from being the honeypot in the 1986 abduction of Mordechai Vanunu, for which a full article already exists.


 * WP:BLP1E states that we "cover the event, not the person". Unlike Vanunu, who was notable as a whistleblower/traitor (depending on viewpoint), a major human rights case for 20 years, and a major figure in Israel's nuclear history, Bentov has pretty much zero notability save that she was the one he went to Italy to meet, and who acted as the "honey". A classic "one event".
 * WP:BLP1E also confirms If reliable sources only cover the person in the context of a particular event, then a separate biography is unlikely to be warranted.
 * WP:NOT confirms that someone or something that has been in the news for a brief period is not necessarily a suitable subject for an article in their own right.

In and of her own right, she is not notable; the honeypot agent could have been anybody, and all relevant content is already included in the article on Vanunu. Proposed - merge any missing information into, and redirect to, Mordechai Vanunu, the main event for which she is known. There is no independent notability beyond that case.
