 * – ( View AfD View log  Abbas Holocaust Denial Stats )

The page is an opinion piece that lacks reliable sources and contains no encyclopaedic information. Violates WP:NOR, WP:NOTBLOG and WP:ATP. --Nazeer (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is not encyclopedic content; it has no RS sources and suffers from WP:fringe and WP:OR problems. Kierzek (talk) 17:21, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TNT. A wholly unreferenced essay possibly consisting entirely of original research. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:34, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Not an encyclopedic article; just propaganda. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:30, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This should have been speedily deleted instead of coming here. The article creator started this article after being prevent by an Arbitration Committee ruling from adding the same material to The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism.  This new article is also a violation of the same ruling and I believe that any admin is entitled to delete it immediately.  Even me, though I'd prefer not to on account of being "involved".

 * Delete with fire. I suppose it's remotely possible that a genuinely encyclopedic article could be written about this topic, but it would have to be based on a diverse pool of reliable source coverage about the topic and not just on one YouTube video by an academic with a vested interest. And it would have to address the topic in a neutral point of view, which this does not. Bearcat (talk) 23:15, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment -- The real question is whether Mahmoud Abbas is guilty of Holocaust denial. This article is currently an unreferenced orphan.  It has the feel of an ATTACK article to me, apparently based on the POV of one Jewish academic.  If (but only if) it can be substantiated, it ought to be merged into the bio-article on him.  If (as I suspect is the case) it cannot be, it must be deleted.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:22, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It is already present in the main article on him as well as in the article on his book. Zerotalk 23:15, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
