Kidnapping of Noa Argamani

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Hamas has abducted over 250 individuals. The article does not state why the individual is notable enough for a specific article about their kidnapping in particular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by نعم البدل (talk • contribs)

 * Merge to Israel–Hamas war hostage crisis. News coverage on its own is routine primary coverage and does not meet WP:GNG. If the target page becomes too long, we have the option to WP:SIZESPLIT to List of kidnappings in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel or something similar.

 * Keep. Noa Argamani is the most recognized and well-known hostage due, in part, to her abduction being caught on a viral video. In the words of NBC News, Noa Argamani became the face of the Nova music festival hostages. The coverage of her in reliable sources is global, overwhelming, and enduring. For example, see coverage from a few days ago on CBS News  . Marokwitz (talk) 18:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * This is exactly why it must be kept - she is the face of the abductions, a captive conspicuously not returned with other women and children, and a further victim of forced propaganda.

 * Merge to Israel–Hamas war hostage crisis - indistinct as a topic from the broader context: just one individual singled out for being captured in a video that is not itself standalone page worthy. Iskandar323 (talk) 21:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Meets GNG and NBIO/NEVENT, article is about the event, but meets the exception for 1E per WP:VICTIM, the mass kidnappings were a major historical event, this individual has received a large amount of coverage per Marokwitz and sources in article.  // Timothy :: talk  21:48, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. As mentioned above, the case of Argamani is a notable case that has been covered significantly in international media worldwide. Eladkarmel (talk) 14:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. No valid reason to delete this, as this kidnapping has received significant attention by reliable secondary sources, and indeed is more notable, and less worthy of deletion, than the other articles on Hamas kidnap victims that have been nominated for deletion on identical grounds. The fact that 200 other persons were also kidnapped, and did not receive extensive individual coverage, is not a reason to delete an article on kidnap victims or kidnapped families that indeed have received substantial coverage in the global media.

 * Keep - Well sourced. Jjazz76 (talk) 05:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable kidnapping with many sources to verify it is notable. There is no reason to delete it. Hogo-2020 (talk) 09:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep, per all the good sourcing that this has. Davidgoodheart (talk) 17:16, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge to Israel–Hamas war hostage crisis. News coverage on its own is routine primary coverage and does not meet WP:GNG per Thebiguglyalien. Her kidnapping is not independently notable, the fact that the photos of it have been much shown doesn't alter that. Pincrete (talk) 07:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Wish it wasn't the case but sadly does more than enough to satisfy WP:GNG MaskedSinger (talk) 12:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as per WP:Notability. Other editors have already outlined what I wished to say, but not only is the article well sourced, but Noa's case is one of the most well-publicized, and an ongoing one in which she has been publicly used by her kidnappers - obviously cynically - to maintain publicity to the ongoing regional conflict.--Kieronoldham (talk) 04:20, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
