Israel Peace Week

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A publicity stunt that didn't catch on. 6.5k hits on Google. For reference, the event it was supposed to counter, "Israel[i] Apartheid Week" gets about 120k hits on Google. Im The IP (talk) 18:51, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing earth shattering about this event. Seems about as notable as Amnesty International events or many other hundreds of such things on campus. Oaktree b (talk) 19:54, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the other delete voter. There seems to be nothing special about this event. The sourcing is bad, and there's nothing particularly notability or unique about it as an "event" anyway when compared to the hundreds (or possibly thousands) of similar ones out there in the world. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:39, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the above. There's nothing notable about the event nor has it gained much attention or traction. It might as well just be another random university event - no need to write a specific page on it. SacredSunflower (talk) 22:32, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - Does anyone want to make a policy-based argument for deletion? "Bad sourcing" is the closest anyone has come. What's wrong with the sourcing? ~Kvng (talk) 15:09, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The campaign just doesn't exist anymore. No website and the Facebook group is dormant. Six posts from 2018 and nothing since. The articles you link to are so called "submarines" written by the IPW staff themselves. Advertising campaigns regularly get much more attention than that. Im The IP  (talk) 15:48, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I totally agree with ImTheIP. The only reference that might work is the Jerusalem Post article, but it seems to be 100% more about "solutions" to the conflict and various other things related to it. Which don't really have anything to do with the subject of the article, this specific event. The rest is just written by the staff and has various similar (or other) problem that I don't feel the need to go into details about. There's nothing sourcing wise that is both reliable and covers the event in-depth though. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , these are otherwise reliable sources right? What evidence you're relying on for your "submarine" assessment? The fact that it was reported on for only one year is not a reason to delete. It does not need to be earth-shattering to meet our notability requirements. ~Kvng (talk) 18:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The op-ed in Jerusalem Post is written by Natalie Menaged who is the director of education of the Hasbara Fellowships - the organization that hosted Israel Peace Week. Your other sources is Arutz Sheva which is an Israeli right-wing rag and Mondoweiss which is a pro-Palestinian blog. I'm sorry, but the sources are very weak and 6k Google hits speak for themselves. Red Bull's advertising campaigns regularly gets ten times as much coverage. Im The IP  (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Since I was pinged I'll just echo what ImTheIP said. An op-ed by the director of an organization that hosted Israel Peace Week is not a reliable source. Arutz Sheva is pretty sketch also due to them clearly lacking neutrality on the subject. Which I'd say the same for if this was on the other side of the political spectrum BTW. That said, the article isn't in-depth anyway. So, it's kind of a moot point. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete The articles says this is an annual event but it does not seem to be ongoing and was apparently short-lived in duration. It could possibly be worth a redirect but I'm not sure to where. Do we have a general article about the conflict on campuses? Spudlace (talk) 03:29, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into Hasbara Fellowships. Per Spudlace above. The Peace Week may be notable but the article is brief and this content and references would be very welcome additions to Fellowships articles in a selective merger. As an aside, the fact that another event gets more coverage doesn't say a lot about this one. It's how the article is excessively framed but we needn't frame the AfD in the same manner. gidonb (talk) 01:17, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing significant and the sources are not independent. -- KartikeyaS (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
