Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Nor is it a record of things that appeared briefly in the newspapers. Unless the is a record of ongoing noteworthiness, then please delete this. Abnn 14:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I was going to say merge to First Intifada - as he's notable only for being its first victim. However that article says it began in 1987, but this on says he died in 1983. Certainly merge to an article on the incident. The incident is notable as his death, but we've no information for a bio. Do not keep.--Docg 15:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge per Doc. If he really is the first casualty of the intifada, and we can source that claim, merge to that article. FCYTravis 17:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the article can be better sourced (an article about the injustice of the trial of his killers?) and it can be established that his 1983 murder was somehow the first associated with the 1987 Intifada (?), in which case it should be merged per Doc. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 19:47, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * delete or merge to the appropriate intifada article, as this poor victim is not notable other than for the event. Document the event, not the person. ++Lar: t/c 20:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * merge or delete NN. --Shuki 10:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per Lar. Number   5  7  21:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge the notable bit, though the person fails WP:BIO.  Tewfik Talk 04:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is almost unreferenced; the claim that he was "considered the first victim of the Intifada" is completely unsourced, and it is hard to see how somebody murdered in 1983 can be considered a victim of events which started in 1987. The first victim of the Intifada was 17-year-old Hatem Abu Sisi of Jabalya Refugee Camp (I can provide several references if necessary). Also, I believe the article is factually wrong in claiming that five men were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1991. That seems to be the date of the retrial; I think the trial itself was in 1983, though I would have to check this. All in all, an unreferenced and misleading, probably mistaken, article about a non-notable person. Danny Katz should be mentioned in the appropriate articles, but not with a separate article, and not -- without much better justification -- in connection with the first Intifada.
