Ibrahim Shaheen and Inshirah Moussa

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Poorly sourced article that is biographical about two persons, presumably still living. Article does not demonstrate notability of the subjects and fails WP:BASIC. Contested PROD and attracted adverse criticism at WP:BLPN in mid-June 2011. Dolphin ( t ) 08:01, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 *  Weak keep Ibrahim Shaheen (Shahin) was hanged in 1977 (Black (1994), p. 294, cited in our article, also this newspaper article). His wife and children fled to Israel and converted to Judaism. I think it is possible to compile a decent article about them. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:24, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Here is full article from the Chicago Sun-Times (HighBeam, subscription required). The article says the case was closely watched by the Israeli national media in the 1970s (the case was published in the Israeli media later) . I've changed my vote to 'keep'.

 * Keep Also:,  (Arabic), , there's also a few more articles behind paywalls at the Jerusalem Post archives from 1989 and later (SON OF SPY HANGED IN EGYPT DISCLOSES 'ISRAEL IGNORED FATHER'S 1973 WAR WARNING', ELAINE RUTH FLETCHER; Nov 26, 1989).  As JP's archives only go back to 1989 there's certainly likely to be more contemporaneous coverage (and likely coverage elsewhere in Arabic, Hebrew, etc., beyond Google's easy reach.)  Apparently a television series was produced on the incident.   --j⚛e deckertalk 12:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
